I was about 9 when I went home alone, but then again we did not have much safety concern where we lived.
I live in NYC now, and while my daughter is not even two months, I think about this topic since my brother who lives across the street lets his daughter roam around and she is turning 12. It really bothered me that she walks so far from home, since she is small and does not even look 12, and it is still NYC, but that was their decision. I guess for my daughter only able to tell in a number of years from now and see how over protective her daddy will be.
