[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've had a few incidents at DDs bus stops involving sexual predators targeting children who were alone. Fortunately the kids all told an adult who contacted police, but no way would I let DD arrive more than 5 minutes before pick up. [/quote]

A few incidents? You've had multiple incidents? Where do you live? How old is your child?[/quote]

Not the pp, but in North Arlington, there have been a few incidents over the years of suspected child predators acting inappropriate at playgrounds and other places. It wouldn't be enough that I wouldn't drop my child off at the bus stop a few minutes early when other kids are starting to gather as well, but I don't think I'd drop my child off at the bus stop 20 minutes early every single day without anyone around to keep an eye on what's happening, thereby creating a pattern that might catch someone's eye.[/quote]

+1.  I let my 8 year old walk to friends' houses and such, but I would be nervous about creating a pattern.  We live in Bethesda and have had several instances over the past several years of sexual predators approaching children, so they are out there and looking for unattended kids.  I would take my preschooler late or drop my ES child at school in the way to/from preschool.[/quote]
