1. Nowhere in the "United" States

2. Nowhere in the "United" States

Answer 2

I say that at age 13 and 12, they are mature enough to go to places alone like the mall and the movie theater. Just ask your teenager where, when, how, and with who? You may sound a bit over-protective, but all parents are like that. Also, make them call at time of arrival, when they're about to leave, and also make sure you call them at least twice to make sure everything is ok.

Answer 3

And the sky is made of cottage cheese and the furniture is speakin' atcha.

Answer 4

Well, first I would learn the difference between "were" and "where". Then I would learn the difference between "there" and "their". After I had done that, I wouldn't let my 13 and 12 year olds go ANYWHERE.  

Answer 5

13? alone with friends??? um her room. and 12 alone? her room. 12 with her BF? kitchen, living room, outside but on the property near the house.

Answer 6

Well seeing how im only 14 myself i can't really answer. but i would say i would let them go to the movies, maybe to lunch if you trust them that is

Answer 7

I wouldn't let a thirteen year old go out unless there was adult supervision.

I wouldn't let a twelve year old have a boyfriend like that in the first place.

Answer 8

friends house with parental supervision.

a 13 year old cant go out alone!!! without a parent!!

especially 12!!

Answer 9

I would not let a child go out alone, especially at night. If it was with a group of friends I would  want to know the  friends  first *and*  the parents of  the friends as well before giving permission.  Even then, it would have to be at a  public place like a bowling alley or  school dance  etc...  I would not accept a boyfriend with a daughter alone .  Invite the "pair" to a family  barbecue  in the back yard, a mountain  hike,  a sports or music event in the park. Talk to your  daughter  frankly about "the birds and the bees". Find  examples of the daughter's  peers that show how mistakes  in early teens can destroy  the dreams for the future.

Answer 10

Your twelve year old has been in a relationship for 2 years? That doesn't sound good at all....

Anyhow answering your question... I would let my daughter go to the movies with her friends if she was 13 as long as there was a set curfew.

Answer 11

Yes. But I'd make sure they called me every few hours to let me know they're okay.

Answer 12

If you can't spell basic words please stop having children.

Answer 13

You let your 12 year old get started waaaaaaaay too early if she had a bf at 10......

Answer 14

if u had a child at the age of 12 with a bf..you should not separate them , but just warn them not to go over the limit..and if i'm the parents , i would just let them go those place near the neighbourhood places or crowed places..

Answer 15

Let them go

don't be too protective

if you do they wont tell you anything more again

so let them go

but only ask

where are you going??/

and then leave it at that

Answer 16

That would depend on where they were going and what time of day it was.

My thirteen year-old child wouldn't be dating, but I know at this age, "boyfriends" aren't really boyfriends.

Answer 17

I have a 13 year old daughter.  Its tough, their at an in-between age.  It depends on their maturity level as well as if they are trustworthy.  I think going to the movies and such for a few hours max is fine.  

I know kids have boyfriends and girlfriends early these days but 12 with a 2 year relationship?  Not healthy.  Unless its a very casual thing.

Answer 18

Going in to town is okay. The movies?

I think if you know the boyfriend and they had been together for 2 years, let them do what they want.

Answer 19

Just let them go where ever.. Just make sure you know where they are going, and see if its a good place to go. If its a party, dont worry about it.. let your kids have fun. But at the same pace.. remember you have to no if that area IS a good place.

kk?

Thanks

Answer 20

Where or were? try the Q again.

Answer 21

Oh dear a boyfriend at 10? that is insane, what kind of parents would allow that, when i was that age still thought it was fun to go and play baseball with my friends out in the field, not date them. But anyways I think they are too young to go out alone, when i was 13 i would go to the movies with a group of friends, but there was a parent supervising, they just sat behind us to make sure everything was ok, and safe. There are a lot of lunatics out there you don't know what kind of crazy people could be around, i know your daughters want freedom, but they need to be safe, don't let them go out to places alone just because there upset you wont let them. Your the parent, make the right choice.

Answer 22

I know that being the protective parent is never "cool"

but i think if you're too laid back, e.g. let them go anywhere or have a boyfriend at age 10, that things could turn out bad.

a place i would let them go would be the movies, maybe the mall during daytime.

I can't think of anywhere else to let them go that is age appropriate.

If she's sort of iffy about going to the movies you could maybe bribe her saying that you'll purchase R rated movie tickets maybe.

At age 13 she's definitely thinking about boys and the movies is a good place where they can't get too out of hand.

Answer 23

Wow arent you the trustfull one.

With the way the world is, I wouldnt let (if I had one) out til she was at least 16

Answer 24

I recommend really public places... like malls, or like a sports center.

Nowhere too private, except a cinema, that would still be Ok, coz its still kinda has a lot of people there.

And make sure its not late at night. Coz things could happen

Answer 25

You need to talk to your kids more. Find out about their lives and build trust. Don't worry about the boyfriend, too young for a real relationship. The only places they should be going alone is public places, but they may be too young to be out without a parent really! Maybe try the movies, but they have to know they must be at the place you leave them and not go anywhere on their own. You may have to watch them from afar...

Answer 26

In The Front Yard! jk. When i was 13 i WANTED my parents or my friends parents to come along. To the movies or eat pizza somewhere. Its just not safe anymore.

But if shes all desperate i would say somewhere close to home, or somewhere where she would know how to get home on her own from.

Have you ever seen Clueless, where shes coming home from the party...she doesn't know where shes at and she calls from a payphone... yeah its scary.

Answer 27

I would let them go and see a movie or go shopping alone.Anything else would have to be discussed as it came about. If you show them that you trust them they may well reward you with good behaviour. They know right from wrong.

Answer 28

Yeah let her go shes got to have her freedom sometime, and you have to trust her but if you find out shes disrespecting it in anyway you can take that freedom away from her and regain trust again.

Answer 29

im not a mom or anything..and im only 17, but i can tell you that at 13 both boys and girls start having those feelings, so give her advice and give her "the talk" shes not too young..trust me. At 13 i dont think its a good idea for her to go to her boyfriends house, unless ofcourse its a party or something like that.. then i guess its okay as long as you know whose gonna be there and stuff. I think its okay if a 13 year old goes to dances and the mall, or maybe the park? it depends, I know my mom wouldnt let me go out only with my boyfriend when i was 14...i had to be accompanied by friends =)

if she goes out frequently, i think you should get her a cell phone, not an expensive one because she will most likely lose it but just one that she can carry around with her when she goes out so u can get a hold of her.

you need to trust her, she is only 13 and still needs your advice and help, but try not to be so overprotective because that could lead her through a bad path in life instead of a good path, since she will try to do things you prohibit her from doing..  

Answer 30

Your best bet is a public area, like the movies or just walking around town at the shops or mall. If your concerned about your child doing something iffy with her friends, tell her to check in every two hours, and if she doesn't then she's not allowed to go out anymore. This will add pressure that she'll have to communicate with you soon and she most likely will make the right decisions.

Same thing with the 12 year old and her boyfriend, restrict them to public places only. If she contests it remind her that she isn't even a teenager yet, and if she continues to contest tell her then she simply cant go.

Answer 31

i dont think you should let them go out by themselves because they are a bit too young to be out unsupervised. you can let them go to a place with adult supervision.

friends alone eh? hmm... it depends where they are going. because if there are at least some adults there then it would be safer

its up to you to decide. =]
