Too many people do not understand what we went through living in Detroit when it began to decline. I worried myself sick about my children, couldn't send them to public schools, didn't let them stay outside [[even in the backyard) at certain times when the animals were roaming the streets. If my daughter went out at night I asked her to stay with her friends until the next day, especially during my shift because I didn't want her coming home alone. Our street didn't have any lights and it was a perfect haven for thugs to lay in wait for a pretty blonde girl to get out of her car. We had alarms, spot lights...I felt like I was living in an armed camp.
