Northridge mall safe for kids??
It's a sad day in the Valley when the Build-a-Bear Workshop store in the Northridge mall gets robbed at knifepoint. According to police, the incident occured just before closing time yesterday.
But how long will it be until something like this happens in the middle of a busy Saturday, with children cramming the store?

Barbara Correa writes about work and family for the Los Angeles Daily News.

Actually, it's a sad day in journalism when a "writer" for the Daily News can post such a reactionary, fear-mongering, ill-informed blog post that offers no context, no analysis and no value.
Crime is down. Criminals look for easy targets with easy escape routes. It has nothing to do with children, the mall or the Valley.
Maybe you should have started the post with, "Back in my day..." and ended it with, "It won't be long until we're all killed by hooligans!"
