Description

Multiple times the police have been called to check on school-aged children in this vicinity because they were waiting for a bus or they were seen briefly playing on the sidewalk near their house in bare feet. It is justifiably frightening to children and their parents and potentially harmful to families when there are public safety calls on them without any reasonable cause, and ridiculous to have a cruiser drive the wrong way up the street with flashing lights to check on a child in bare feet. These calls are a waste of public safety resources and send a message that children cannot leave their homes because they will get in trouble with the police if anyone sees them.
