No chance... she can play in the garden/drive or the house. Once she's in school ill start letting her go to friends houses but ill be taking her.

hell no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely not, 5 is way to young imo to play out alone .
Josh is 4, & he isn't even allowed in the front garden without me. He plays in the back garden where its secure.
Point blank no way to young stick to your guns hun x

I wouldnt, but have also wondered if I was too overprotective..Sadly, You just cant trust anyone out there.

Its not just others that we need to be wary of, ok we say our kids will never walk off but you truly dont really know. It doesn't take much to tempt them & they will be off whether its another child playing a little further away or taking them for a walk your child may well just go with them & then what? Dread to think about it.

Im on a dead end so there are no cars my way at all & i wont let josh play on the front street, Not even if her over road says she'll watch him!

No i agree with you hun, my boys are 6 in a couple months and my girl is 9 but i only let them out on the street to play if I am there to watch them even though you can see them from my windows clearly and we live in a quiet cul de sac. They have a mini park and a veg patch in the back garden so that's where they spend most of their outdoor time.

Got a while before I have to start worrying about this but not a hope in hell's chance - they'll be at least 30 before I let them out of my sight lol
