Dear Ann Landers Replies Echo Reader Criticism
Readers rail against Ann Landers for a blunt reply to a 12 year old about getting hit in the wrong place. Landers concedes the misstep and offers cautious guidance, urging adult supervision and medical check if pain persists. A separate reader objects to attitudes on divorce and blended families, prompting Landers to defend parental contact with children. The column also notes a cat Flick’s cross country trek and a dog’s misrouted walk leading to an owner reunion.
