[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some 9 yo girls already have their periods. They shouldn’t have to worry about running into a boy from school in a public bathroom. [/quote]

[b]How is this relevant?  Everything happens IN the stall, with the exception of hand washing.  I guess I don't get what the big deal is.  [/b]

To answer OPs question, my sons would have rather peed their pants then come in the bathroom with be after 6 or so.  I have two, so I send them in there together with a warning that they have 2 minutes (no fooling around, basically).  [/quote]

So from that perspective, there is no reason to excludes males of any age, right?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By the way, it's not just children that get murdered in bathrooms.  
Adults have also been murdered in public restrooms.   You can't have every adult male going into women's rooms with their mommies for the rest of their lives.[/quote]

There have also been little girls who were sent in to  restaurant bathrooms alone who were assaulted.  Just stay with your kids, people.  [/quote]

What should a single dad do with a girl of various ages? When -- if at all -- should he be taking her with him into the men's bathroom? Or should he be escorting her into the women's bathroom, since everything happens in the stalls anyway? Up to what age -- or is it up to him and his comfort level?[/quote]

I trust the dad to make this call for his own child.[/quote]

PP. I do, too. With more single dads out there, I expect we will see more adult men in the women's restrooms, if alternatives are not available. I'd be glad to read a consensus that this isn't objectionable to anyone posting in this thread. That would be great![/quote]
