[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom let me and two friends go to the park a block from my house alone in third grade when they were over at my house playing. The other moms called and gently explained to my mom that was not a good idea and please to not let us go there alone. We were new in town, from a rural area where kids would roam around in woods all day on their own. The urban moms weren't cool with that. [/quote] I have an 8yo. If I sent my child over to a house and the parents let them walk to a park alone, I would be upset. At 10, maybe ok. I have teenagers and there are parents who don’t feel comfortable with middle school students being dropped off to get ice cream alone. DS had a friend over and wanted to go to ice cream. Friend’s parent was uncomfortable with kid being out alone without parents.[/quote]
