My daughter has been coming home from school on her own for the last 3 years, no great hardship if they can be trusted with a door key and have the good sense not to set the place alight.
She used to ring me at work as soon as she got in, if I didn't get the call I rang the school, since she is now at secondary school we have more mutual trust.
Kids need the independence and parents are gonna have to learn to let go and earn, this recession isn't going to go away lightly and staying home on benefits really shouldn't be an option.
