Comments on: Why I Let My 9 Year Old Ride The Subway Alone http://journeytocrunchville.wordpress.com/2008/08/12/why-i-let-my-9-year-old-ride-the-subway-alone/ The journey of a suburbanite mother from the mainstream to the crunchy. From ignorant to questioning. From selfishness to greater understanding.

I can;t say I agree with the idea that mom had. But my decisions are based only on my life and living where I have and having worked where I have. Growing up near LA didn;t help either. To me (just my humble opinion) - the "oops he didn't make it home because that stranger DID decide to take him instead of catching their ride home" is not acceptable to me. Yes, bad things happen. Absolutely - even under the closest eyes. But for me - and mine - I want to be able to say I did my best to protect my children the best way I knew how. Great article. I love your blog – thank you for bringing this up.

Great article.
