I don't think it's the fact that parents are afraid to discipline their kids either, personally I think in alot of cases parents just aren't putting the time in. I mean I have an 11 year old son, he would not be allowed hang around the place with kids of that age for a start, when he does go out with his friends, he has to stay within ear shot of either me or a parent of one of his friends.
10 years old is far to young to be hanging around subways etc with kids who are clearly older.

Hmm maybe. I know 13 is quite different, but we have recently allowed Gavs oldest to start going out with his mates on his own to the cinema and such for a few hours at a time on a weekend. He is a very very mature and well behaved child at home and it just seems the right time.
However, maybe him and his mates are going on like this too :S
Does make me wonder
