And so it begins

This week is spring break in Sweden. The most perfect teenager in the world is going to a concert for the first time in his (and our) life.

I feel total panic at this while the offspring's feeling is at the exact other end of the emotional spectrum.

I certainly don't want to scare junior but at the same time I have to make him realize that there are people who have evil intentions.

My concern is certainly not exaggerated or ridiculous. Yesterday there was a robbery in which a 12-year-old girl was stabbed when she was robbed of her mobile phone. The robbery took place on one of the city's municipal buses.
