[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first four concerts were with my mother (friends joined with some not all four) when I was in 7th & 8th grade. After that I went with friends starting the summer between 8th & 9th. Concerts are fine, no one should be freaking out about dropping their kids at a venue, watching them walk in and picking them up afterwards.

I mean, this completely depends on the venue, but there are a lot that are simply too huge for you to ever get close enough to “watch them walk in.”[/quote]

I an a different poster but in that case it should be fine to watch them walk towards the venue. The street outside is usually very safe and if you are worried about your kid dotching a concert to get a few hours on the town that’s an entirely different problem. [/quote]

[b]Safe when we were kids is very different than safe now[/b] as we didn't really know if an issue happened as there was not social media like there is now.

Just go with them and get seats a few rows away or get law seats and sit a bit behind them.  [/quote]

This is completely WRONG. In terms of actual safety, there is very little change in terms of stranger incidents between the 1970s and today. It's just public perception has changed - more people are seeing the news on the internet rather than their local papers. More stories are out there, it doesn't mean there are more incidents which statistically there are not.[/quote]
