I miss her

She is simply adorable, no shade to the adults in her life but I would never let my young kid and a female at that go to the store alone day or night … the world is too crazy . I was accused of being over protective when I was raising my only child, a son. He’s now 37 and I still stay on him when he says he’s going for an late evening walk or wants to check the mail at night ..… NOT…
This is just heartbreaking what a sweet kid
