Been letting mine roam the neighborhood, unaccompanied, on foot and on bikes since the oldest was 7, I think. Youngest will be coming up on six, this Summer, when I let 'em join the others and roam (only with their older siblings—next Summer they can go out solo, if they want). No cop visits yet. Probably only a couple years left before they're old enough that no-one's likely to bother us about it. Hoping we make it out without trouble. So far, so good. We have had neighbors from other streets come over a couple times to "make sure we know" our kids are way off in the neighborhood, but they've not made a thing of it past that, so I think they're chill-enough and really were just wanting to make sure we were aware.
