Yeah we do (and this is far too interesting for a thread like this). I just think the mother forgets how dangerous it can be for kids to be wandering around (especially with learning disabilities). We live in a very "enclosed" quiet street - with a wonderful large grassy area in the middle. I can imagine it being very easy to "forget" that you don't know you're neighbours as well as you'd like, or that people can just come in and out.
In the summer holidays all of the children play there but there is usually an adult in the front garden keeping an eye out.
As the car is dismantled it'll be more dangerous for the kids to be in (I've already locked and taped the doors to stop them getting in and hurting themselves) so I know I've got to have a word with her...
... and perhaps install some gates!
Perhaps I'm just paranoid?
