[quote=Anonymous]OP, that's great! Problem solved!

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]

I am pretty permissive but I actually do not love this plan, with 7th grade DD sitting outside at the same time every week. One time -- no problem. From time-to-time -- no problem. Taking the bus doesn't bother me at all. But essentially to be visibly and routinely alone in public, on a predictable schedule = target for bad guys. I would make plans for her to be inside somewhere. Plenty of ideas upthread, to which I would add, if she is going to be alone and unsupervised, that's OK, but make sure she is not always visibly in the same spot at the same time. Change it up, frequently. [/quote]

Would you be similarly uncomfortable with the idea of OP's daughter walking home from school on the same route at the same time every day?[/quote]

Just wanted to chime in on this one: For me it would depend a whole lot on the route and setting. I used to take care to mix up my routes when running in the city as part of basic self-defense / situational awareness. I can't comment on the particulars here but it's solid non-hysterical general advice. [/quote]
