[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to walk home a mile with a friend (sometimes alone) in 3rd grade so 8, but there was a babysitter at home. We crossed one major street at a light. I was fine. When I was in middle school living in a very safe neighborhood two middle school age siblings walked into a robbery in progress in their home and were brutally murdered. I am not yet at this crossroads but am working on adjusting my schedule to be home in the afternoons.[/quote] I understand that you have to protect your kids, but I don't know how that could have been avoided. It seriously sounds like if an adult had been home, they would have been killed too. My son put his foot down at 12 and said enough, please give me some independence. It's been fine. He also started riding the metro bus by himself at 12. Sometimes I think city kids are a little more savvy, always on alert for something. [/quote]
