[QUOTE="keista, post: 432876, member: 11965"] I think skateboarding is a good "cover" for some difficult children since the good boarding is "at the park" ie can't stay home and do it. I also think that as a real athletic activity, it is a magnet for other difficult children because it is a "socially acceptable" form of thrill seeking, unfortunately the thrill seeking difficult children will get sucked in with the cover difficult children and it's just not good. I laughed at this so loud because it's s true. Unfortunately in your case the location was HORRIBLE between a school and a library? In my town we have tons of parks. One is red and orange, and we drive by it frequently. The kids always asked if we gould go to the red park since it's the only one in town we never went to. Ah, NO. The last time they asked, I felt they (my DDs) were old enough for some reality, so I asked them if they've ever seen kids playing there? No. What kinds of ppl did they see there as we drove by? Mostly men, old teenagers to old men. They were cnfused and starting to understand the oddity of it. So I explained the whole drug thing, and it's not safe, and even if no one is there, we will NEVER go that park. And yeah, the cops like it because they always know where to start looking. [/QUOTE]
