[quote=Anonymous]Didn't read all responses, so I apologize if this was said. Before I put my 11 year old in this situation, I tested it out. I often go jogging so she knows the car may be there, but I still may not be home. So I locked the doors to see what she'd do. After a couple of minutes with her struggling to work the deadlock and door locks, I went out to help her. I was shocked that she couldn't even get in the house. This might seem odd, but you don't know this kid. I realized we needed more remedial training. It's like telling them not to answer the door when you aren't home, and then knocking to see what they'd actually do. [/quote]
