Awesome. I’m late, but I thought I’d comment and say a ‘way to go’ for your girl for doing exactly what she should have.

As much as I don't want fear to overcome her, I think walking her home for some time is necessary for her safety. That’s awful.

What's a funny joke to them is terrifying to two little girls. As hard as it would be I think I would let her walk home otherwise you feed the fears. Most likely those boys found bigger and better trouble to get into and won't be back again. Fucking stupid kids. What’s a funny joke to them is terrifying to two little girls.

Then, I thought about it and thought, "Yea, yea I would." But, I'd be all stealth about it and follow them from a distance in my own car to make sure they didn't meet up with the boys again. Plus, it'd give me the opportunity to get the license plate. We need to feel safe in our neighborhoods for crying out loud. This irks me beyond irkdom. BB guns, although more irritating than deadly, are still a force to be reckoned with and should be treated with the same measure of respect as larger guns. We use them as the training ground to teach our children how to handle weapons safely. I'm so sorry. :( Bullies. GAH! My first response was “NO!”

Gosh, I don't know what I would do. I guess I wouldn't let her walk without me just for my own peace of mind. I get anxious about that stuff anyway. I don't live in a great neighborhood, so I worry about those things as it is. Oh my, how terrifying for them!

I hope someone saw something, or their stupid enough to be seen aiming at fences again. as for walking home? for me, it would totally depend on Tacy - how freaked out she is the next day and whether or not she wanted an escort (and be very happy if she did). oh my god – what complete and utter jackasses.
