A Nice Jailing Should Teach This Terrible Mom To Let Her Nine-Year-Old Daughter.....

[Half-Century Man]

40. I just looked at some of my childhood homes on Google Earth

My brothers and I grew up on military bases. When our father was stationed in Selma Al (68-69), All summer long we played in valley creek (where while wading up stream about 2 miles we found a bloated dead cow). We played in the yard of the city sewage treatment plant which had a collection of goats, Pea hens, and a peacock.
Our house on Kessler AFB in Biloxi Ms is gone now, but the storm ditch where we used to catch box turtles is still there. The rotted dingy we used to go crabbing from is long gone.
The drainage ditches, fields of saw grass, and and jungle covered hill riddled with abandoned Japanese bunkers from WWII on Clark AFB we played in are buried under yards of ash from when Mt. Pinatubo erupted. Although I think the Base hospital that I was staying in (3 days, due to a right arm bruised finger tip to elbow) is still standing abandoned. From the forth floor window of that hospital; I watched them dig a WWII 500lb American bomb out of the ground they were building a new parking lot on (I'm thinking summer of 1966).

My brothers and I played unsupervised alone, in various pairs or in the trio since 1965 till now. We are alive, mostly healthy, currently not wanted by law enforcement, and trying to live the American dream handicapped by being on the lower end of the 99%.


This is a non issue. The child had a cell phone, was surrounded by her peers, and under the gaze of caring adults (the evidence being the call making parent). She was safe.
