Mom fights off child snatcher

This really scares me, especially since it happened in our area! I think i'm going to stay house bound for the next month!!!

Hey ladies

I'm not sure where all of you live but I just emailed around for some smash and grab quotes.

Cheapest I could find for our car (Opel Astra 1.6 Enjoy 5 door) is R950. It goes according to the size and sometimes model of your car.

Our car already has tinted windows but I'm not sure if it's smash and grab so have to check that out first.

LOL julz it sure is the toughest job in the world, if I am not worrying about them, then I am hugging and kissing and them 2 minutes later screeching like a banshee and breaking up fights.

Aah you gotta love em

Clarie you do what you can to teach them right from wrong and then you have to trust them to make the right choices and love them unconditionally when they don't. No wonder being a parent is the toughest job in the world.

I have always firmly believed that I live in the protection of the universe and as such have been careful about what I do, yet never really been paranoid.
I have lived wildly, yet not irresponsibly (if that makes any sense at all).

I have all the tools in place to protect my family, yet...... for the first time I am starting to wonder. I can bring them up to be responsible children / teenagers / adults, but that will be their personal ethics and morals.

I can protect them when they are with me, but what about when I am not with them, as they get older
I know I have the ability to teach them right from wrong and how to respect the universe, and be honest with me, and not abuse substances or other people and their feelings, but what about those they will be coming into contact with


Oh you have to excuse me today, I think I am having one of those days

Claire I also feel that way sometime. Are we being totallly selfish. Probably, but I think we can do our best to safe guard our kids. Many of us have the means and knowledge. We must just use it.

We can look at stats but we can't live in constant fear for our kids. It won't change things and yes kids get snatched but it is the exception not the rule.

Protect your children but don't make them victims of fear in doing so.

Julz I agree if he had been in a proper car seat it would not have been so easy to slip him out.

EveStyles - don't worry it is not just this report that freaks me out, there are other issues involved as well.

But I sometimes wonder if it was such a great idea to bring helpless little mites into this ruthless world.
Everytime I read News24 there are horror stories, there is school bulling that is getting out of hand, there is substance abuse, there are children raping children it is so scary to think what our children still need to deal with.
