I would not permit a five year old to cross a busy street and walk home alone for several blocks, much less a mile and a half except in an emergency. Perhaps you live in a rural area with no wild animals ... or wild cars.

agreed but

when I was at school there was a cop on the main street to help anyone cross.. they used to look out for us. I f I got sent home early he would ask me why and tell me to hurry home.. I would then walk 3 blocks to my home where I would have to explain to my mom why I was sent home . of course all the neighbors noted I was sent home early so it didn't happen very often. .. now adays it is very different but that was Camden NJ . We moved to the south when I was in grade school so I have been through both city and country.
Problem today is they let out all the perverts out of prison . He promises he will never do it again and they let him out.. Long time ago they were in prison or run out of town by irate fathers ... two important things that are missing today . Cops on the corner and irate fathers. these perverts Know that that little old crossing guard can't do anything
Fix the courts and judges and have cops on the streets most of the problems will be solved..
