To let my 9 year old become a latch key kid......

[KIMItheThreadSlayer]

......as clearly all my friends are pedophiles and axe murderers according to the government and unless I pay to get them all vetted by the nanny state I will soon be breaking the law to ask my friend to pick DS2 up from school the one day a week I go to take my disabled mother out.
I shall give DS2 a key and tell him to walk home alone across 2 main roads, (better get him a reflective vest as dark nights are coming) and when he get in I shall tell him to cook the dinner and sweep the chimney!!!!!!

[DISCLAIMER PLEASE NOTE I HAVE NO SUCH INTENTION I AM JUST FED UP WITH THE WHOLE NANNY STATE]

Tut! There I was all ready to give my very reasonable opinion on this topic, only to find out that you aren't actually going to let your 9yo become a latch-key kid. Tsk!

I see no problems with it personally!
