I am glad to hear that Bryce is safe. Unfortunately its so wrong and sad for such a young child to be exposed and involved with a knife robbery at his age. Undoubtedly it will have left an impresssion on his mind.
So many parents are unaware of their childrens wherabouts and activities.
But even more disturbing is when it goes to court a slap on the wrist is handed out to the culprits and the victims of crime are forgotten. Its all about the perpertrators. I am not going to grand stand, suffice to say, glad that your grandson is safe LB rod 55.

That's not good Rod I hope they get all the help they may need to get over it. That is a fear that I have for my wife and son. Wife works at a TAB near a pub and my son work at a pizza tack away and they both do closing shifts.
