Neighborhood "excitement"

Thought I'd post this and clear up some rumors.

Yes, according to a child in our neighborhood, there was a man impersonating a police office.  Supposedly this man, dressed in uniform and driving a blue crown victory, approached my neighbors house and knocked on the door.  The kid was home alone - 13 year old boy - friend and classmate of Jon's.  He let the man in the home, who then searched the house and asked if he knew where another boy in the neighborhood was.  This was around 2 p.m. on Friday.

Today, we were woken by a loud banging on the door.  We answered, and there was channel 11 news.  We only knew what we were told by this boy.  We were never informed by the police, we did not see the man nor the car.  Marty explained this to the news station, who then asked him to comment on whether or not we are scared (no), and what we are telling our kids.  Channel 11 was polite and didn't try to sensationalize anything.

Not an hour later, another knock on the door.  This time, Detroit 4 news.  Pushier than channel 11 news, we repeated the same information to them.  After this, we had some errands to run and as we were getting in the car, another news vehicle approached - this time channel 13 who REALLY tried to sensationalize the whole thing - and again - Marty repeated the same information.

We don't know anymore than that.  There are comments on some of the news stories that "maybe it's a drug house because it's a beat up shack."  That is unfair.  It is not, I repeat, not a drug house.  It is a hard working family with 5 kids who do their best to make ends meet.  I don't know why this person was looking for this other young man, also a neighborhood boy the same age as Jon.  We haven't seen him to speak with him since the incident.

No, we are not scared.  First and foremost, because God is in control.  Second, because we feel it must have had something to do with this specific young man.  I pray for HIS safety, but I think we are fine.  No one was hurt, no damage was done, nothing was stolen - and now it's all over the news.  My only concern is that the news failed to share how we repeatedly said we were not involved and didn't see anything.  I don't want my neighbors, whom this DID happen to, to feel like we jumped in on something just to get on t.v.

Anyway - just wanted to clear it up.  It's not a drug house - and it makes me sad that people are saying that.  Just because we don't all live in big fancy houses does not mean we are drug users/pushers.  As I said, hard working people - not a drug house.
