My daughter literally wants to be a nun right now, so that might impact my decision. If she was a different kind of girl, I might feel differently.
This is different because it’s an official get together for a school activity with the kids so do the activity.
What OP’s talking about is meeting up with rando kids who could go to the school or could have been found at the mall.
OP, you’re right to be worried about this situation.

Crude, OP, very crude. I had this no-visit rule for my son and my daughter. Boys can get sexually assaulted too. And both genders can get drunk and get run over.
Not only can a boy get sexually assaulted (or drunk or high or shot) but your boy can father a baby or be accused of doing so. You should have met the 14yo friend's parents and made sure they were home to supervise.

Np. Neither I nor DH would feel safe to allow DD12 to unknown peoples houses with groups of boys and girls, even if the parents are home. What if the parents don’t supervise the kids if they think kids are old enough, or allow kids to close door and do whatever they want?

Same here.

Nope, this seems like the time were the boys and girls could get into trouble together. They are still immature and you shouldn't risk it.

Nope, you lost me here. I want to either know the parents or know they're home, but rules go by age and kid, not by genitals

I would want to know the parents, and know they were home.

Nope. In middle school, my kids did not go into homes where I hadn't met the parents, and they didn't hang out as a group with kids I didn't know if at least one parent wasn't there.
I know some parents don't care, but the parents I know (my neighbors and friends) all care.

Am I too strict? My daughter starts middle school. She made some new friends both boys & girls at her new middle school. We dropped her off at the mall to hang out with friends. After that, She asked if she can go to her female friend’s house hang out with both few boys & girls. We only know their names. I told her no because we do not know the parents nor her friends.
