Reply to comment by mental_issues_ in Moving back to Philly: Is SEPTA safety actually worse now? by Kondratev

I went to the Franklin institute with my 8 yo daughter and the dude next us started shooting up . She had no idea what was going on and I just told her to look at all the cool drawings on the tops of the building . However a concerned citizen yells out Ehhh there’s fuckin children on hereeee. And then yells at me that I gotta speak up .

Now she’s aware something’s going on when before she was happily just staring out the window, I never felt unsafe but it was a really awkward 15 minute or so ride.

I really enjoy raising my daughter in the city, because there is a lot to do and we can walk everywhere. She is asking questions about homeless or crazy people on the street, but she is never scared, just curious.
