[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in nyc and my 14yo has been going all over the city since she was 12, as have most of the other kids we know. Your child is 2 years away from leaving home. Please give them the opportunity to stretch their wings a bit and become independent. NYC is a safer city than DC. [/quote] 12-14 is very young to be going out alone in NYC. That's lazy parenting. It isn't safer than DC and my sibling after 25 years moved out as she started to feel unsafe. The chaperoning parents don't sound responsible. That's a no for me.[/quote] No, it isn’t. It’s normal. There are plenty of kids even younger going out alone all over the country including in NYC. The parents sound fine, you and op are the ones with anxiety and unrealistic expectations. [/quote]
