[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure how they plan to regulate this. Children are allowed to be unsupervised (though not supervise younger children) at age 8 in MD. MCPS allows people on school grounds during time while school is not in session. So it seems that she would be allowed to be there. It they tried to restrict her from school grounds, it seems that they would have no way to keep her from waiting just off school grounds. [/quote]

They are allowed to be left alone at home, on your personal property. Not on the school property. If you don't think that the schools know that this is going to be a huge problem this year (thanks bell times), then good luck. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of you getting phone calls from the school, and eventually CPS if you plan on making this your daily plan. Have fun![/quote]

You think Child Protective Services should be called if a ten year old is in public alone? [/quote]

It's not about being in public alone, it's about children being in a place they are not permitted to be at that time, and not being able to reach a parent to come get them.

By the reasoning of some people here, my kids could jump the fence at the regional (government-owned) pool after it's closed for the day, and there's not a thing anyone could do about it. That's not how it works, people.[/quote]

No, but I think your kids could stand outside the locked gate on public property waiting for the pool to open in the morning. [/quote]
