[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Maryland, we ran into an issue where a second grader was old enough at 7 to walk home from the bus stop alone, but not old enough to stay at home alone. I didn't come home from work until 20 minutes after her bus came home. So I had her walk around the block for 20 minutes until I came home.[/quote] This seems far fetched. Every day she had to walk 20 minutes alone in whatever weather, rain or shine? What if it was thunderstorming when she came off the bus? What if it was 90 degrees? What if she came off the bus and threw up? Couldn’t you just have her go with a neighbor?[/quote] I have had all these 3 scenarios happen last year with my kid. I would never let my 7 year old come off the bus alone or walk around 20 minutes unsupervised. [/quote] Right! Or you get in a car accident on the way home, or the road is closed for an accident..This is crazy.[/quote]
