[quote=Anonymous]I have kids over a very wide age range. When DD23 and DD21 were teenagers we lived in the Midwest, so my 13yo is my first experience raising teens in a Metro area with good public transportation and easy access to a city with a variety of things to do. We live in Maryland not that far from a MARC train station that is on the line to Union station in D.C. 13 year old/7th grader wants to go with a few friends into D.C. on occasion, and the various parents involved are conflicted on whether it's a good idea to let them go alone. I would be fine with it as long as there's a group of a few kids, at least one of them has a phone (my kid would for sure, not sure about others), and I have at least a rough idea of her plans. Some of the other parents seem to think that's crazy or neglectful, so I was just wondering what other area parents thought. What age would you find reasonable for this?[/quote]
