[quote=Anonymous]Personally, if the 13 year old was habitually late, I would have had a discussion with him. Kids who can't be trusted to return on time aren't trusted to be outside the house. If you are not allowed to leave and you choose to do so anyway, I will be forced to let the police know that I don't know where you are, although I can suggest a few places to look. The more times I have to call the police, the more likely the teen is to be cited for delinquent behavior. Overall, I've only had to have this conversation once, and the issue hasn't come up again. I'm a big fan of laying out all the known consequences for kids and allowing them to hoist themselves or not as they choose. Either way, they know what the consequences are and I know that it's better for them to learn the hard way while I'm still responsible for them.[/quote]
