[quote=Anonymous]I understand your concern even if some PPs have taken issue (perhaps legitimately) with the way you have phrased parts of your post. Just based off of what you have posted and a few minutes of thought about what I would do, here are a few ideas you can think about:

-Work on social boundaries in all sorts of different situations. If she generally seems a bit clueless about such things I suggest doing a lot of role playing, giving her scripted scenarios to follow, looking into the idea of social stories, or finding a therapist if you think that is necessary.

-If I had the type of concerns you expressed, I would not consider my daughter sufficiently mature to be unsupervised for significant amounts of time. Therefore, despite her age, I would still use the supervision rules I use for my younger kids who are not ready to be on their own. I would make sure she knows that she is only ever allowed to go somewhere with someone if the adult in charge of her at the time approves. I would emphasize that any time she is away from home without me she is always to be either with an older (teenage+) relative, with a group of her peers, or within an adult supervisor’s line of sight.

-Make some hard and fast safety rules that she is to follow at all times with no exceptions. Let her know you will enforce them as seriously as you do other house rules.
