Saturday Sabrina went with Tamie and me to MLK Park to invite people to church. Of course we had to stop and let her play at the play ground for a few minutes.
We noticed a woman with a couple of dogs talking to a kid with a dog. She told him that she had a leash for him. Tamie and I exchanged looks, but didn’t say anything. She then told the boy that she only lived a few blocks away. We stopped them to invite them to church and also so she knew we saw them together. He hesitated when his dog wandered off, but he left the park with her! She told him the dog would be there when he got back.
As they left we were very concerned and we both felt that she was a stranger to the boy. We quickly went to the car so we could follow them. It took a few minutes and we lost track of them. Tamie was getting out to ask a man if he’d seen them when the boy came out of a neighborhood carrying a leash and a bowl of dog food.
We breathed a big sigh of relief. Then Tamie called the boy over. Again he hesitated, but came to our car, (remember we are strangers to him as well). She told him we were worried about him and warned him about going off with people he didn’t know.
Please tell your kids that strangers can seem very nice. They shouldn’t go with anyone they don’t know. It doesn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman.
