I swear, this world is getting worse and worse…
I remember when we could be outside by ourselves as kids. When my sister and I were young, our “mom” would let us walk to the local convenience store, several blocks away, by ourselves and buy milk or a paper for her. This was when I was like 10 people!
There is no way I would have ever let my kids do that at that age!! I don’t even feel comfortable when my 14 year old wants to walk to the local Dairy Queen after school with her friends.
What is this world coming to?? These are a few of the things I have heard about recently…
-
a woman and her friend were murdered by her husbands cousin
-
a school employee was arrested for child porn found on his computer (not a local school)
-
several banks and convenient stores have been robbed lately
-
there have been a few teen shootings only about an hour from where I live
-
a story about hi tech pickpocketing (about identity theft and how to protect yourself)
And these are just a few of the things I have heard about recently! Don’t people have a conscience anymore? Or standards and convictions?? What happened to the golden rule??
God Help Us!!
You are so right Jo. Things have definitely changed a lot for the worse in the past few years.
