I personally feel there could not be a more serious issue than this in any given community.
So Mrs. Burke, it outrages me when you attempt to downplay the seriousness of this problem. It outrages me when you suggest the community should not be concerned when certain parents shirk their responsibilties, and allow their very young children to walk to school alone without competent adult supervision.
You hold the whole leadership of the community responsible for something that should be the responsibilty of the parents FIRST! You blame the Town Council. You blame Chief Egan. You blame the Crossing Guards. All for the safety of the children. Yet, not one time! Not one peep! Do you hold the parents of these children accountable! It is reasonable to expect parents to take ownership of their own children's safety FIRST! However, you won't do that. The only thing you are concerned with is a vindictive vendetta against Chief Egan and the Town Council.
I copied your own words from another thread:
"Unless you take your children to school you have no clue what happens at the corner. And yes, Kindergarten children walk to school alone. I have personally crossed children to and from school. You do not have first hand experience with this issue. It has been a longstanding issue ever since I have lived here."
Unlike you Mrs. Burke, I will provide the date, time, and thread in this forum so the public can go back and read the full text and see the full context. Not twist words like you often like to do. Not quote people without providing a hard public record to back up the quote. You posted the above quote in the thread titled "Observation" on Friday, Aug. 7 2009, at 7:43am.
