I watch you close the front door as your child approaches RUSH HOUR traffic outside your house in DARTMOUTH.I look to see if the other drivers waiting in line see her approaching the road, head down. Obviously she meets with the kids across the street to go to school,she’s probably run between your 2 houses a thousand time without incident. But If you dont at least walk your child through the RUSH HOUR traffic, somone is going to make a mistake, and she’ll either be crushed between two cars, or be run over ,by someone travelling up your road to find some faster way to the bridge.

ok, dr t. this one i think you should talk to the lady personally.what makes you think she reads this?for the child’s sake , i would risk a telling off,although i don’t think the lady would be angry if you just approachedher and tell her about this.some people are just either naive and just not all there.she may be a good, caring mother, just a bit off.i knew a lady once like that. she didn’t know she was doing anything wrong, just not so bright… but still a nice human being.
