ok everybody..HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION FOR YOU ALL TO ANSWER

[jason]

a friend of mine is home alone this fri night, her parents are goin to florida...they said she can go out so she made plans, but today they said they dont want her driving on the highways and to stay home....shes mad and crying and her mom told her the conversation is OVER...

[lepfan]

Why on earth would parents go to Florida and leave their 16 yo daughter home...I am assuming alone?????

[Ranger Mom]

Me and my little brother and sister stayed home alone when I was 16 and my parents went to Alaska...but this is a different world than it was then. There is no way I would leave my 16 year old home alone (to go out or stay home) - there would have to be an adult there!!

On a side note: When my parents were in Alaska we had a freak storm (tornado) hit the area - the hail knocked every single window out in the house. Imagine my parents surprise when they returned to find every window with plywood over it.

[Old Tiger]

Well then she should invite some friends over and have a little get together.

[kaorder1999]

i refuse to answer cause shes 16....hehe

[marlin fan]

Hey lepfan sup playa???

[poncho]

To me it just makes good sense. Let her have some girl friend over that you trust and leave it at that. :cool:

lol...

Uhh...HAVE A PARTY!!!!! Hello, her parents were clearly indicating that they wanted her to stay off the highway, and host a party at their house :D

[dawgdad]

Clearly these parents are completely out of their heads if they think their 16 year old is, a) staying home and b) old enough to be on their own. Did they leave the keys to the car and the credit car too?

[dawgdad]

I meant credit "CARD" If I was sixteen and home alone it would be Party Time! Thats why I was always home when my kids were sixteen and complete stupid heads!

[spiveyrat]

Why not have her stay at a friend's or relative's house while the parents are gone?

[Matthew328]

I won't say what I would do in this situation...since the girl is 16...LOL ahh memories of high school!

[Old Dog]

This will be seen as "old fartish" (which I am), but the parents have abdicated their resonsibilities as parents. Of course there can be extenuating circumstances, but normally this should not happen.

[St. Ivender]

I have a 16 year old son that I would trust alone for one night alone if I were somewhere local. He would starve to death though if I were gone a week.

[JasperDog94]

As the father of a little girl myself, my views on this have changed somewhat. First I would tell her that she could have ONE friend stay with her. Then I would hire a security guard to patrol the area and be on the lookout for people like Jason... :p :p :p
