[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems crazy, it borders on neglect...apparently this crowd has forgotten how expensive child care is and that people have kids even when they can't afford them? [/quote]

Middle and high school kids can spend a few hours hanging around with friends without it being neglect. Actually, that just seems normal to me. And a jump place like that is better than hanging around someone's house being bored. Kids that age don't need "childcare".[/quote]

This is not high school. This age is elementary and early middle school. I think it's wrong to leave elementary aged kids at public places and expect child care. A life guard is there to make sure everyone is safe in the water, nothing else. And you'll notice many of them are teenagers. [/quote]

Age 10-15? Okay, I'll give you that 10 is elementary school 5th grade, and to me that would be iffy... probably only allowed if a sibling was there. But 11-15 is middle school and early high school. By that age they were going around public places on their own with their friends, and I did not expect anyone else to provide any sort of care for them. That's kind of what I was trying to express in the post you quoted, that the kids don't need child care and can handle themselves for a few hours.[/quote]
