I was surprised at Dr. Phil's response to this situation.  The bottom line is that the kid does not have the physical size or self-defense skills to keep himself safe in this situation.  To "count on" strangers helping him if he gets into trouble is absolutely ridiculous!  Absolutely appalling! I'm sure that mother could think of other, safer ways to have her son feel self-confident -

I find it so hard that
this not a form of "abuse". I know that is
a strong word, but
think of the "consequences" putting a child out
there on his own.

What made her think that her son could not have been jumped and had his money stolen....or that a predator could have taken advantage of
him in a way that he would be missing or found dead
somewhere in an
alley?????
Putting a child in that "situation" can be "dangerous" and she should have known better as a Mother...
she is the "adult" and he is the "child".

I agree...she has some screws loose that need to be tightened!!!!!
She needs HELP!!!!!!!
