[quote=Anonymous]We live in Mt. Pleasant, a block from Bancroft (my kid’s elementary school). She wants to be able to stay at the playground without me with a friend. I would walk them there (the one block) and pick them up an hour later. They would have permission to leave the playground only to come home in case of injury, bathroom needs, etc. To get home, they have to cross one street with a stop sign and not a ton of traffic. They are responsible, rule-following kids. I have two main concerns: (1) shady characters and (2) other parents asking where their parents are and getting concerned. At what age would you allow two kids to play on their own at a playground 1 block away in an urban environment? I’m intentionally not saying the age of my kid or her slightly older friend since I don’t want to influence answers. Thanks![/quote]
