Here is a CSB for you. I was at a friend's house for a bbq in the borderline ghetto blue-collar/Mexican part of town (in USA). Our kids wanted to play at the playground near by so I decided to walk down with them because I had my gun on me and pitbulls are pretty popular around there and I know kids have been mauled before (pretty unlikely but I'm paranoid).
So we get to the ghetto playground and there are these 2 kids there already about 3 and 5 I would guess. They were both really grubby looking, shaggy hair, dirty faces etc. basically feral children.
I assume their parents were back at home smoking meth and these kids just run around all day unsupervised. I could be wrong but that's the feeling I got.
What bugged me though was I noticed the youngest one wasn't wearing shoes and I didn't think much about it because it's quite warm and I've seen kids with no shoes before. But then I looked again and his feet were all scratched up and the skin was all scabby/cracked looking and I realized this kid hasn't been wearing shoes AT ALL. I asked him were his shoes were and he just mumbled. Anyway this place was freaking me out so I left pretty quick but that kids feet has been bugging me. I like to mind my own business because you never really know the real story and I don't want to interfere in other people's lives.
Would you have called child protection or something or minded your own business?
