I don't say anything, because I know that the parents will probably react negatively. No matter how I approach the subject. When I was growing up, the families on my street watched each others kids. We don't know each other. We don't associate with people outside our small groups. There is an underlying issue of race and class that makes interaction in our neighbor hood more difficult.
