[quote=Anonymous]Twelve is a little young without an adult sticking around although if a group of kids and you don't particularly care for the movie you could hangout at a nearby coffeeshop.

One story I tell all the time -- nice sunny Saturday I am dropping my kids and a couple of friends off to see a movie.  At the time we were in the midwest and this was a very nice suburbia town.  There is a drop off lane in front of the theatre.  My kids have taken off into the theatre but I have to wait while a minivan full of 13/14 year old girls lets them get out.  They get out -- van takes off, but I still can't get out as another car noses in their spot.  NBD, but as I sit there for the extra 30 seconds I see one girl come back out of the theater obviously checking to see if parent has driven away.  Upon confirmation -- the group comes back out of the theatre -- off to hang out in town for a couple of hours.

Could they get into much trouble?  No, not really.  A few hours walking around suburbia town in mid-afternoon on a nice day.  But . . . not what they told the parents.
