The reason I brought this up was because of the other post about the autistic boy crossing the street.
I live in the neighborhood across from the main PAX gate...across from Roses, which is a rather trashy neighborhood.
These kids run around the yard all day, running across the street...which since it is a small street, really isn't that big of a deal, except with the massive number of adults at the house, they park their cars along the street and you can't see a 3 year old running into the street between two SUVs.
The problem is, I don't really know the definition of "neglect" now a days. I grew up in the back country and my parents let us freely roam and pretty much do whatever we wanted from a very young age. But now that I know the types of people that live in the neighborhood, I wouldn't let my kids leave the house, let alone run around unwatched.
If this is a "Your being dumb, just ignore it" thread, then thats how it goes... I just wanted to see what the general opinion was.

Nope, not really. My dad grew up in a small TH in PG County. He was one of 11 children.

I understand completely. I knew of a lot of people growing up with a lot of siblings....its just the state of that house, the state of their yard, and the state of the neighborhood....kinda makes me cringe.
