Reply to comment by Top_Ad5385 in Follow-up: Does the Atlantic City boardwalk have enough to entertain a group of 14 year olds for 2-3 hours? Just wanting some beach shops, an arcade, ferris wheel, go-karts, etc. Closer and cheaper than Wildwood, not sure if there's a noticeable difference for that brief of a visit by garbageeater

Please. As a teenager I had free roam of the world. Kids never going to learn to fend for themselves if you never let them fend for themselves. A group of teenagers on the AC boardwalk are in no danger. Stop watching so much "news".

Yeah, it was cool to walk thru. The candy store was still open back when I was there. However, I wouldn’t want my kids hitting that place unattended. Gotta be people lurking there with no place else to go.

I'd be less worried about them getting mugged and more worried about some POS grabbing at them drunkenly and scaring them.

Put it this way. I played a show with my band a few years ago right off the boardwalk. Guy got stabbed and died next door, and one of my band mates got approached by two different prostitutes.

I don't know if it is helicopter parents as much as "getting sexually harassed or assaulted as a kid or teen sucks."

Go to Reddit's search bar, outside of this sub, just generally, and search "Atlantic City." After you're done throwing up, you will see what we mean.

I had to mail my application in since I didnt have a pin. I included the filled out form + a copy of the deed to my old house to prove I was the owner. Im in "application received" and I assume it will be in that state for awhile

Today's media is based on instilling fear. They make more money that way. It's a problem. I've been going to Atlantic City since 1981 as teenager. Never had problems. And today is safer than ever.
