When people started accusing me of being too lazy to take her to the club myself then I felt the need to clarify a little more and the thread started to go in a slightly different direction.
I still don't see why I have been considered to be an irresponsible parent when I actually didn't send her off to stand out there because to me that was never an option.

Just meant addressed the situation correctly, not the thread .. course all of us mothers would feel the same way .. crikey, I would have definitely tried to sort out the pick-up point if I could have not got any of my kids/grandchild to their venue in safety, and worried all night 'til they arrived home safely.. as you do.
Just sad, isn't it that a child cannot go to a dark junction without us all worrying ? .. reflection on our society, however, when I was young, had many moments of flashers, men who followed me home .. chased me through the streets,etc., and
I always tried to stick to the well-lit roads. Like you said before .. more publicilty. Consider the fact though, that stastics show that a child is in more danger of getting hurt in a motor accident, than walking to a venue and being accosted.
