[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Times have changed. Maybe it is a good thing, not a bad thing? I've seen lots of data to suggest that the crime rate has actually dropped, but maybe it it is our parents who should have been more careful. I used to play in storm sewer tunnels on the way home from school for crying out loud, NOT a good idea. And we had a long-term flasher problem, including a time he came into the girl's bathroom in our school. This was in the 70's in Fairfax. We didn't wear seatbelts either. Unfortunately there are alot of child predators out there. I want my kids to be independent, but I also need to work with the information I have, which is that there are lots of red dots on that sex offenders map in my zip code...[/quote] More awareness does not mean it has changed. It depends on the kid and where you live. I think I'd be fine with them walking with friends around third grade, providing that they were mature enough. [/quote]
