I think on the video, though it's hard to see, his nametag could have had 3 letters. I agree that he is not 10 inches taller than she is, although she may have been wearing some low platform shoes, perhaps - her feet look a little clunky. Poor little thing, she sure doesn't look 11.
Her mother must feel so GUILTY about now, having let her walk alone to her friend's house. I think my kids will have to have driver's licenses before I let them go anywhere alone... What a world.
rationally, she should not feel guilty...anymore than having her walk to school or church early in the morning or evening...
and remember, in most states, 11 is the age a girl can start babysitting....
however, there is NOTHING THAT I DON'T FEEL GUILTY ABOUT IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.....such is being a female and a mother......am I right?......lol
