They know the location of crack houses and drug dealers in the neighborhood. My aunt's kids have tried for years to get them to move, even before my uncle died, but they wouldn't and my aunt doesn't intend to leave where she has lived all these years and where her kids grew up. It's a constant worry for her kids and the rest of the family. |
That sounds like the town my parents both grew up in, my aunt still lives there, and my grandmother still goes to church there. It's gotten so bad, my aunt got her purse stolen at the church! But being old and set in her ways, my grandmother still wants to go to that church. Not to mention the crimes, drugs, etc. A couple months ago a kid was shot outside my aunts house by the cops!
