Would you let an 11 year old girl go to the movies with a group of kids the same age w/o adult supervision?

Answer 1

no, too many pedophiles out there

Answer 2

It depends on the neighborhood.

When I was 11, I could go to the movies aaalll the time with my friends.

We live in a very safe neighborhood. We already live in a peaceful state, but this city has around 20,000 people and there has never been any super bad things happen. You never hear things on the news that something happened in our city.

Also, the movie theater is a 3 minute drive from our house. The movie theater employees are people from the highschool, and even though I don't know them, they know me as "Kaitlins Sister".

When I went to the movies, I would have my sisters cell phone with me.

Also, I have always been a very trustworthy child. I am a straight A student and I have gotten several awards.

Even though I am not 11 anymore, I am still straight a student, awards, everything.

It all depends on the neighborhood, the child, and how much you trust your child. Also, make sure your child doesn't go with the opposite gender if you are really protective.

Answer 3

My lord! All of ye are spazzing some! Ive been going to the movies WITHOUT adult supervision in groups of 2 and 3 (no boys) since I was 11, and Im still here! No pedofiles attacked me, I wasnt scared out of the movie theatre, and I havent been kid napped!! Listen, your kids are probably not planning to have sex! Its a movie! Not a gang bang!

EDIT:

Here, I should explain more. The parents of kids going car pool, and take turns dropping off and picking up. So one parent would come along and pick us all up and bring us to the theatre and drop us off. Right after the movie, a different parent would come and get us all and bring us back home. We dont go to any movie with a rating over 14A, but we dont go to matinees.

EDIT 2:

Also, I only live in a town of 7000-7500, and the theatre is 20 minutes away.

Answer 4

Of course she can go! Everyone seems very overprotective. I've been going to the movies with my friends since I was 11, and I'm still alive! I doubt 11 year-olds are going to have sex.

Make sure its a GROUP, though. That means 5 or more GIRLS. One adult walks them into the theater, and stands in line with them. Make sure they all have their tickets, and now where to go. Find out what time the movie is over, and then send another parent to pick them up. They have to go in, though, and walk them to the car.

I've been going to the mall and walking around (before or after, the theater's attached) since I was 14. The area's safe, though, and there isn't any crime.

If you really feel her life is in danger, then don't let her. If its a safe area, then go for it. Your daughter will feel your overprotective if you hold her back for to long.

Answer 5

Yes...if you were dropping off and picking up your daughter directly from the movie, and knew who she was going with, what she was seeing.

If this still makes you uncomfortable, you could go and either: 1) sit in another section of the theater at the same movie or 2) go to another movie in the complex while the group watches their movie.

I'm assuming for the moment that you live in a safe area and that the movie theater itself is safe.

Answer 6

Please dont listen to these people that say NO WAY THERE GONNA HAVE SEX R DO DRUGS... bcaz its not true. Espically if you know your daighter wouldnt do that kind of thing. I started going to the movies by myself and with my friends when i was only 10.. Its not a big deal. Give her your cell phone or ask if any of her friends has a cell phone so they can call in case of an emergancy. Make sure you kno when to pick them up and stuff. Trust me shes old enough.. Its the movies and shes with friends Saftey comes in pairs... Good luck & happy holidays

Answer 7

Depends. I am 11 and i'm allowed to go to the movies by myself, because my parents know I'm respnible and smart enough to go on my own. There's such a small chance that anybody will try to hurt her there's no point in treating her like a baby if she's responsible and smart enough. If you don't think she's ready then don't let her go. You know her best and will have to decide if you think she's ready for it.

Answer 8

That many young kids togeather. At least they would probably make too much noise and might be thrown out of the theater. One might decide to do something else and leave the group. Bad bad idea.

Answer 9

in case you have been my newborn, i does not permit you circulate. Heck, i'm 18 and that i does not prefer to circulate. Underage toddlers ingesting and doing drugs is under no circumstances a stable factor, and why might you even prefer to be linked with people who do those issues? Your parents are basically in touch approximately you, and because drugs and alcohol would be there, of course they are going to say no. they're doing what they think of is nice for you, and if I have been you, i might basically pay attention to them. parents fairly do know plenty because of the fact they have been there till now.

Answer 10

Under certain cirucumstances. It would have to be a matine. I, of course, need to know who the girls she is going with--and it would only be girls (though they probably wouldn't want any boys tagging along anyway). The theatre would have to be in a decent neighborhood. There would be clear place and time to pick them up. And, most of all, I would have to have confidence in the maturity and responsibility of my daughter sufficient for something like this--and I do.

Answer 11

no, I am 13 and I am only aloud to go with my friends if a parent sits way behind us. What do parents think we are going to do anyway?? I don't have a bf and my friends respect that, try group dates if you let her.

your daughter is probably very lucky to have a parent like you
