Wael is not exaggerating regarding the ages of children out and about on the streets in their, mostly, motorized play things. During the same walk (before we lost our bear) we witnessed a group of pre-teens driving wildly around a field which they had entered from the street--a private property.<br />I agree this problem seems to be given its legs by the ability of families here to purchase such "toys", but I also believe the small size of our town is a factor.
