My youngest and her friend were playing outside when a woman drove up to them and started talking.  The woman then got out of the car and walked up to them on the side walk.  She never did anything aggressive the girls said, but who in their RIGHT mind would engage strange children in conversation in their own front yard without a parent present?We had a HUGE discussion about stranger danger again and what could have happened if this person suddenly grabbed one of the girls and hauled them back to the car.  Guess they are not old enough to play in the front yard yet without supervision. 4951

@ctl74:
She was talking to them about their school and supposedly she has children in that school as well. Really weird! She told them where she lived, unless she lied of course. I have a good mind to go over there and give a good talking to.
 
We went over outside safety again, the fact that NO adult should be talking to you without a trusted adult around, and self defense tactics. I told he that if this type of thing EVER happens again that they to run immediately to one of their houses and get a parent or older sibling.
 
Needless to say, they wont be playing out front anytime soon.

Unfortunately my child learned all about stranger danger first hand with the squatters we had living next door.  She couldn't even go in he back yard with the dog by herself because they felt the need to try and have a conversation with her from the deck if she was out there.  I thought my DH was going to go thru the roof when he saw it for the first time.   Luckily we got them out and she is a bit more comfortable but we all still have our guard up and we talk to her all the time about it.  Not sure if I'm scarring her or just preparing her for life in general but she knows not to talk to strangers so I guess I'm doing something right. 4951

That is so weird.. why would she need to stop her car and get out and tell them where she lives because she has boys of her own? I know Kingwood is a safe community but I am so scared to let my daughter outside! If I were you I would pay her a visit just so you could sleep better at night, that is if she gives you a good explanation as to what that was all about? I'm sorry that happened to you, that is very scary! 4951

@dotti573: What is DH? It's better for her to learn now, Kingwood is such a bubble, if you don't teach her about the freaks of the world now it will hit her hard when she goes off to college.

@MizzHollywood85: DH would be my husband.  We had squatters that moved in next door and luckily we put enough pressure on them that they left after 4 months.  My thoughts of the Kingwood bubble were burst when they moved in and were selling drugs and prostitution right next to my house.  Luckily our street is back to being quiet except for the cars going by but she learned a very good lesson during that time.

@BooBear: The actual cleaner is good. But many from that company has a very bad reputation of using the cleaner for their presentation but what they give you is diluted. Some complaints of robbery too. You can Google it....I feel sorry for the honest ones because of their reputation being ruined.
