I heard there was an attempted kidnaping of an 8 year old Jewish boy in Brooklyn. People, PLEASE watch the children. In my neighborhood, we have parents whose little kids run around with absolutely ZERO supervision (I include kids under the age of 2). The parents rely on the slightly older ones to watch the babies. I have myself run out of my house to snatch up a baby who walked into the street, and another time caught another one as he was about to fall down a steep staircase on his tricycle. Both children had no parent in sight, and the parents made themselves nisht vissendig when I brought the kids back to them and told them what had happened. We cannot be so cavalier about our children’s safety. Hashem might be our Shomer, but He expects us to NOT rely on miracles.
