For a 11 year old to take their 2 siblings (6 and 7 years old) to school over a 1 mile walk away on their own?

Nope

It’s a big obvious no. So why do you ask?

SoozyWoozy5 · 11/06/2024 18:27

Absolutely not!

This is actually neglectful. Are you really asking this? So the 6 and 7 yr old start fighting and messing around and you expect an 11yo to keep them safe on the road? This place sometimes!

No, I wouldn't take the risk. I'd be constantly worried.

No, my son is nearly 11, and I wouldn't feel it's fair to put him in the position of being responsible for a 6&7 year old. I wouldn't even ask my nearly 13 year old to be honest.

Far too much responsibility for the 11 year old.

Depends what the route is like? Are there busy roads to cross?

No
