It probably depends upon where you live.
I've seen kids in our neighborhood walking to school alone as early as the 3rd grade. And we have a pack of young kids - ranging from 2nd grade to kindergarten, that regularly roam without adults.
So at least where I live, this doesn't appear to be much of a concern.
- jefftk 4y agoI don't think it would be a problem here (Somerville MA): our oldest started walking to school alone in first grade, and home in second grade. Along with our middle child they are also often around the neighborhood on their own, going to the park by themselves or friends' houses.
