No Such Thing as Bad Weather by Linda McGurk

I read this book in school and it's about this difference between Europe / Scandinavia and a rural part of Indiana

I'm not saying kids don't play outside, just that the violence is why some parents fear it. I agree the internet makes this fear worse but frankly, EVEN ONE CRIME is scary enough if you ask me

A 26 year old girl was set on fire in Chicago public transportation. It's really unforgiveable to me when people then say I'm "fearmongering"

Yes, I fear being attacked on public transport!
