[nothing2lose]

DD is nine and a half...


Walk to school alone or with friend/s (one block or less) - i would do this now
Walk to school alone or with friend/s (more than one block) - this is a hard one as a 13 year old local girl was abducted last year while walking to school. Her body has never been found I would like to say 12 if in a group.
Catch public transport alone or with friend/s - 13 or so (depending on where they are going, etc)
Stay home alone, during the day - 12 or so
Stay home alone at night - 15 or so
Leave them to their own devices at home, while you sleep or whatever - I started doing this when DD was four or five.
