People didn't generally allow fear of what might happen to control their lives. Kids carried pocket knives, teens carried rifles, illness was something you avoided best you could and accepted as part of living. Neighbors resolved issues of bad behavior without calling the police, men protected their families and neighborhoods, everyone's parent became YOUR parent if you misbehaved and, get this, you actually had to win to get a trophy, There were inside voices and outside voices. There were places for adults and places for children. In between places were stores, family restaurants and movies. But any screaming or misbehaving child would immediately be removed. We learned to swim in creeks, lakes and rivers, not pools. At the bakery a child would get a free cookie, at the butcher's or meat dept. a child would be given a hot dog or a thick slice of bologna.

You're right Sylvia, we should live in constant fear and not take any action to correct a situation. There are bad people out there and we probably can't prevent all these bad things from happening. But we can take action to make the situation better and the police are the ones to contact for results. It's not likely that these individuals are targeting her and it's probably not terribly likely that they will take more aggressive action, even though you cannot determine when/who/why that will take place. In the meantime, large building managers won't do anything about people congregating; it is not an illegal action. They've already sent a memo out about making sure the window's locked. That did not change the issue. If samkaren escalates it as a fire hazard, they may do something further and may have to answer to the police if calls continue. Management won't be held responsible until something happens and even then, they are powerless from remedying any situation that arises. They will ultimately have to contact police or other authorities. I stand by my statement that calling the police should never be circumnavigated nor should it be feared. Their job is to serve and protect. I can't change anyone's mind and you're well within your rights to think different.
