Rebecca pulled over in an attempt to get them to stop and they surrounded her car threatening her and my daughter. Fortunately they saw her on her phone, and out of fear arrest they scattered through some adjoining yards adjoining the park. <br /><br />Again, we called the police and they are aware. <br /><br />Additionally I have notified our district patrol captain and will be scheduling a neighborhood meeting to address this ASAP.<br /><br />Please be cautious if you're walking or jogging at night - and know that action has been and is being taken to ensure everyone's safety. <br /><br />If you see a large group acting suspiciously, call the police immediately. <br /><br />And in the meantime, please refrain from snarky or opinionated posts. I've been told privately by several neighbors that they are reluctant to post on this page because of trolling behavior. It's unnecessary and adversely affects the well being of our neighborhood. If you can't share compassion or a offer a positive solution- don't post.<br />################ Tony tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-7173298077175126783 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 20:45:00 +0000 http://www.tonyskansascity.com/2015/09/disgrace-fear-kansas-city-mama-bus-stop.html The level of cruelty and violence continues to escalate in Kansas City so that women and children are unable to walk the street alone in many parts of the urban core.
