Was kid alone where are parents? It’s ok for a 7 yo to ride on a busy street? Hope there’s more to story

Reefer ? ? ? Why not just call it what it is, marijuana....... I guess in the Federal penitentiary they must refer to it as reefer is all I can think of.........

It would be a bombshell event if the driver was not drunk or high in this town!
