[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17: 11 again -- I will say, for the folks joking about national emergencies, that for a long time after 9/11, I made my kid give me a street address and [b]a landline[/b] (because cell phones stop working) for any friend she was going to visit. It was weird to say "I need to know where you are because we know that a plane really could crash into the Pentagon" but I insisted. I'm not expecting a national emergency but it's not inconceivable that we could have another situation where people have to walk miles to get home and you want to know that your sitter and kids would be able to handle themselves. But that still didn't keep me from letting my kid go off to visit her friends across the city when she was in middle school.[/quote] What if her friends don't have a landline? Would you forbid her from visiting?[/quote]This was a number of years ago when everyone still had a landline so it didn't come up.[/quote]
