We are a young family with a 4 year old son and we are considerign to move to Costa Rica due to professional reasons. At the beginning we loved the idea of living in this beautiful country but we are getting worried about security issues. Is it true that security companies and police are useless and that we need to install iron bars in our home? Do we have to worry about our son? For example, of kidnapping issues when he goes to school in the school bus? Our workplace would be in an area called San Pedro de las Ocas. Is there a good neigbourhood around there where we could live more or less in peace? Thanks for your advice!
