In the town where I live there are many rural roads, but one Boulevard is quite busy as it is the only road into town without going around the whole lake. There is a very nice park on that street. However, last weekend and this weekend (just about an hour ago), I saw three boys, under the age of 8, riding scooters on the narrow shoulder of this boulevard, across from the park (with helmets on thank goodness) - all alone with no parent or adult in sight! They were not on their way to the park, it was obvious.
Sharing this boulevard are many cars, speeding teens, and many motorcyclists.
Should I inform the police of this situation? I don't want to be a busy-body but I am concerned for their safety. Part of me says to mind my own business but another part of me is being eaten away at the thought of them getting run over.
PS I am a mom of an 11 yr. old daughter, and I would never allow my child to be at the park alone, let alone play on that busy street!!
Any thoughts?? Thanks everyone.
