Really, an 8 year old can’t be trusted in a car for 5 minutes?


You would trust an 8 year old to not see something in the parking lot and not venture out the vehicle, into the parking lot? I have a 7 year old daughter, who I think is super smart and mature for a 7 year old. I'm 99% certain she would stay in the car in that situation, but I would never test it. Not to mention, she would be scared shitless.

You would also trust every other person walking around to not to take the kids? Even if you are fine with paragraph one, you can't be feeling confident in random strangers. And two kids that young would be totally helpless. All it takes is one bad person and one minute.

If my child wasn’t mentally retarded or a hellspawn, yes. I always just had a fun time messing with the radio when my mom left me there when I was 8.

Then you’ve overly sheltered your child as a helicopter parent.

What, they’re going to bash in the window and no one do something or call the cops? I don’t know where you live, but the location you’re describing where this is plausible is the Congo.

OK, Karen, I’m sure you’re a big hit with your daughter’s friends.

Good thing Karen noticed it and called the cops instead of Chester the Molester noticing it and stealing a child.

I don’t think there is some magic number for a kids age where this is acceptable. However, during COVID I would have done the same thing; less people are out roaming and I’m not going to just expose my kids if I think they are mature enough.

Would it be ok if I was running in the pizza place to pick up my to go order? Where do you draw the line?

When are kids old enough to walk to school / ride their bike? Is there a magic number for that?
