[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 [b]and expect child care[/b]. 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]

But the parents do not expect child care. They expect their tween/teen to have a fun time jumping with their friends. Kids that age go to the mall alone, the movies, amusement parks, swimming pools, rec centers and gyms. If they act up at any of those placed, they'll get thrown out. And if "free child care" was the expectation or a problem, I guarantee you the establishment would have set minimum ages for unaccompanied kids and enforce it.
