But what are the alternatives? The last thing I would want is for government involvement......a social worker or something of that ilk.....I wouldn't mind neighbours keeping an eye out for me though.
yep can happen anywhere, i was talking probability, i can only speak fer us but we keep n eye on owd cocks on there own, (least those we know about) this i think is less likely to happen in a big city, fer reason rindy stated.
