[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all of those saying "yes" -- I wonder:  would you leave your 5 yr. old at home by him/herself for the same amount of time?  [/quote]

Look, I'm in the "no" camp, but I think this analogy is silly.

A kid alone could get hurt and there would be no one there to help.

A kid on a plane is not alone. [/quote]

OK,... would you leave your 5 yr. old in a mall by him/herself???  there would be other people around to help![/quote]

OP here:  You really are missing the point.  They would be a chaperon (flight attendant) assigned to your child at all time.  That would not happen at the mall since there is NO ONE to assign your child to who is responsible for him/her for the duration of the time.  [/quote]

It depends of how mature your kid is, but he is very young, he would get tired and would be with a completely stranger that maybe not well trained in how to deal with a hungry/tired/scared/overstimulated kid. It won't be my first choice.

Can't you find somebody flying there, maybe with help from your embassy/consulate[/quote]
