I am a mom of what I think is a very beautiful 12 year old girl. When I was her age it was O.K. that I stayed at my best friends house or she stayed at mine and we were in all kinds of sports and afterschool activities, but with the way the world is today I cant help but worry about my daughter not coming home on the bus every day. I don't want to keep her from experiencing life and don't expect her to do nothing but set at home but I just don't know how far to let her go.
