> I have a 10 year old going into 6th grade next year, he has aged out of the after school program so I'm considering letting him walk home (about 1/2 -3/4 mile). At that age I was riding my bike the 3 or so miles to the nearest library to check out books. In the far off long ago world of the 1990s, when crime was stupidly higher than it is now.
