What In the World????

Today when I picked my son up from his Grandma's house after work, I was met with some disturbing news. My baby boy, only 6 years old, was riding his bike to his buddy's house, not even a half a block away. Several bigger boys knocked him off his bike and tried to steal his bike. My poor little guy has cuts and bruises on him. Luckily, those nasty boys were scared off before more damage was done, and without the bike. You know, it's not like they live in a "bad" neighborhood. It's an upper middle class area, tree lined streets, larger houses and nicely manicured lawns. What a sad day it is when a 6 year old can't even ride his bike to his friend's house without being accosted. I asked my son if he got any hits in (yes, me, always the fighter) and he said "yes Mommy, I kicked one of them in the ding ding". Good for you baby boy, good for you.
