[quote=Anonymous]Has the 15-year-old been riding buses and metro by him/her self for some time, including making sense maps of schedules, changing trains and buses? My 12-year-old has been riding for two years, but always on routes I selected for her and practiced in advance. I wouldn't let her be in charge of a younger kid until she is comfortable not just with the mechanics of riding and changing trains, but planning the trip as well. If the 15-year-old has done all that and, importantly, if the 15-year-old is comfortable and excited about doing all that with younger kids in tow, and your kids know the babysitter and can be counted on to follow his/her directions, then it could be a great experience for all of them. Unfortunately, there is also the very serious matter of the father who is in the habit of making unfounded CPS reports. Do you have a feeling he might do that in this case if you don't cave in?[/quote]
