[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can he plunge a toilet? Turn the water off/on near every toilet and sink in the house and the main water source? Turn main power off/ on? Use a fire extinguisher? Apply a tourniquet to himself? Know how to self heimelic (sp) maneuver? [/quote]

That’s quite a list. My 16 year old, and I assume the vast majority of teens who stay alone even overnight are not able to do many of those things. [/quote]

You cannot be serious? I could do those things by the time I was 7 or 8. These are simple basic life skills your teen is missing. [/quote]
Omg you are ridiculous

Basic first aid is ridiculous? Ok I’m ridiculous! DCUM never ceases to amuse! [/quote]

NP. Shutting off water and power to the entire house has nothing  to do with “basic first aid.”  PP is right that your list is ridiculous. A better list would include things like “can call 911, knows to go to a neighbor’s house in an emergency, knows not to use the oven when home alone.” [/quote]
