I DON'T CARE WHAT OTHER COUNTRIES DO, IN THIS COUNTRY NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO THERE ARE "PREDATORS" EVERYWHERE.
THAT'S LIKE PUTTING
A CHILD IN THE WILD FOR THE WOLVES TO PREY ON HIM...DEATH RESULTING!
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO NEW YORK CITY? THERE IS SOMETHING BAD HAPPENING ON ALMOST EVERY
STREET CORNER. NO MOTHER I KNOW OF....EXCEPT YOU.... WOULD ALLOW HER CHILD TO BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE IN THIS DAY AND AGE WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH DANGER. HAVE YOU HEARD OF CHILDREN BEING KIDNAPPED
FOR CHILD PONOGRAPHY AND USED AS SEX SLAVES??
YOU GET REAL....A.9 YEAR OLD CHILD SHOULD NOT BE PLACED IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION JUST TO MAKE HIM INDEPENDENT...
THAT IS A FORM OF CHILD ABUSE. IT IS ABSURD TO THINK THAT HE WILL BE
SAFE IN AN ENVIORNMENT LIKE THAT. READ THE NEWSPAPERS AND YOU WILL SEE I AM NOT WRONG.
ALL SHE HAD TO DO WAS READ A BOOK ON HOW TO GET HER SON TO BE "INDEPENDENT", .....
OR GET SOME SUGGESTIONS FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS OR WATCH THE DR.PHIL SHOW.

GET OFF YOUR "STEPSTOOL" AND BE REALISTIC ABOUT
THIS AND IF YOU
DON'T.... I GUESS YOU WON'T HAVE FAR TO FALL!!!!!!!

You are right about orphaned children being left to fend for themselves.  However, most of the time that happens in third world countries where they may not have any form of CPS and they basically walk everywhere they go, they don't have chaotic places like NYC.  Before you slam me for my comments , my point is, other countries don't have the same chaotic environment like most places in America. Talk about needing to get off your pedistol and look at reality!  I'm not saying more prosperous countries, such the USA doesn't have orphans but I am saying those left orphaned in America aren't just left to "fend for themselves" because if they under a certain age the state steps in immediately and  places them in foster care.  And that happens for children who's parents are still living but can't manage to be a "RESPONSIBLE PARENT."  Oh dear there's that word again!  Don't you wait it when that happens? Anyway, just thought I'd freely voice my opinion.

 

 

 

 

 

I do agree with you - it does seem that the family lives in New York and the child is familiar with the area and the subway. It was not some child unfamiliar with the terrain being dropped off. Would I do this - I don't believe I would with a 9 year old. Perhaps an older child with some friends, then maybe.

I would also like to mention that people need to remember that most kids are molested by someone they know - a family friend, relative, person with some sort of authority over the child. Most children abducted are taken by someone known to the family and most who lose their lives do so at the hands of someone who supposedly loves them. There are just not that many stranger danger types out there - you can hover all you want and leave your child with the wrong friend or relative and they are a victim. People must educate their children from a young age "good touch, bad touch".

Hovering over children only makes them unprepared for the real world. Educating them is what makes for strong people.
