"I also wonder why no one has brought up this part of the issue: When you have 5 very young children living in your nice large home, is it not pretty irresponsible and reckless to bring vagrants and drifters into your home to do handiwork/repairs/whatever? Maybe I'm overly paranoid, but that seems like bad judgment on the part of the parents, and I think it was begging for trouble. "


mike you have brought up a good point - security

i think it starts at home. the authorities are usually reactors ie.
when there is a fire they respond and try to put out the fire..
but we at home have more control over our own situation than they do. so mind your own space and be aware at all times. there are bad people out there.
