Reece is 10 and walks to school and back on his own, its literally a 5 minute walk with no roads to cross whatsoever, i dont see anything wrong with what you did willow, when Reece was a baby he was also looked after by my friends 12 year old daughter, she was very mature for her age, joanne also has 3 younger siblings

then there is the question about what age do you let them go to town on there own? i was 10 when my mum let me into Accy with my sister (who was 12 at the time) but things where different then, Reece has been to Accy once on his own(baring in mind i live near the redcap) and i was ringing him every 15 minutes to make sure he was alright, i wouldnt let him go with a crowd of children because then he would maybe get up to mischief....just there and back is fine for now i think
