[quote=Anonymous]I have a 9 year old and told him he was staying in the library on his own for 1.5 hours. I had him use the restroom beforehand, he had work to do, and I gave him clear instructions (he had a study room in the children's section) on how to manage. I just never actually left the library. I wanted to see how he would respond to the situation and circumstances. All of that to say, he did a great job. Did exactly as he was supposed to, but despite how well he did (and I expected him to), I would not be comfortable doing that. It's less about anyone calling police. It may not be likely, but what if there was an evacuation of the library or some other emergency? My 9 year old does not have a phone and he wouldn't know what to do in that kind of emergency. If I really wanted to go to the back to school night, I would just bring him no matter what the school said about children being allowed.[/quote]
