My Mom exactly this in '76 in Germany, for two or three weeks as I recall. She looked after me and my brother once or twice a week. It was at least a 3/4h drive from our home. No one gave a blink. It was a valuable experience for us. What could possibly go wrong? There where lots of adults in the camp. The camp supervisor had a landline phone so in case something severely happened he could have called home or an emergency. I think our cognitive ability for risk management for abstract risks is pretty poor. The foreigner kids predator is a black swan event. It's much more risk for kids to be harmed by someone he knows.
