What Locals Say about South Shore

    "if you want your kids safe, keep them inside or be out with your kids. It's clear that parents don't pay attention to their children these days, so if your not one of those parents them keep an eye on yours at all times. This isn't a neighborhood I would let my child out to play.... period!!!"
