[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 231854, member: 1550"] I have a 12 year old, and if she got into anyone's car without telling me first, she'd be in trouble for hiding it. Why didn't she just ask, "Can Mrs. S. drive me to school?" If this were my child and she told me Mrs. S. was driving her, I would then ask to talk to her to make sure it was ok. But, like one parent said, the deception would bother me...I've always told 12 that trust is everything...that we need to trust one another and we get there by being honest. Aside from that, all kids are different. My 12 is a cautious child and wouldn't likely get into the car with a stranger. But if a child may do that, I think it could be best to watch her get on the bus and stress that this is the only way you want her to go to school. Sadly, there are murderers out there...good luck :) [/QUOTE]
