Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I strolled my grandson a different way today and discovered a little park with a play structure shaped like a boat and lovely shady trees.  But I will never go there again, because the homeless wander around wrapped in blankets, and in the trash bin were items like a bra, glass bottles and stuff dangerous to children.  No doubt the grass is full of needles and condoms.  There were a couple of kids there, but I quickly passed by knowing it was unsafe, and though I have great sympathy for the homeless and those who should be receiving treatment and medication, they are driving away families and taking over, I know out of desperation, but nevertheless.  A park closer to me had this problem many years ago and the houses across the street organized and fought to clean up the park and patrol the area.  What was a toddler park that was disgusting and dangerous is now a happy place with many children and parents.  Maybe some neighbors will rally over this park I saw today as well, or speak out and turn it around.  And maybe they will speak out about housing and treatment for those who are wandering lost as little children themselves.
