How old should kids be when walking around the mall on their own?

What age is appropriate to walk around the mall without a parent for 30 min.

Kidnapping is real and it can happen so fast. Human trafficking happens all the time. It’s a very scary world. Sad but true. I wouldn’t let my child walk alone period. If they have at least 1 friend with them ( or a group) then I’d say 15/16. Just my opinion

18 bc without parents they act like heathens. Doing everything under the moon so security throw em out

14/15 with an older sibling or cousin.

Our mall has a policy for no kids unsupervised under the age of 16.

We did at 12/13. With no phones, no life 360.
Most places don’t allow it under 16 without supervision.

  1. And only if they’re raised right. Teens who act wild shouldn’t be left unsupervised

It would really depend on the kid and their maturity level. I’d say anywhere between 14-15. But definitely not alone. And if it’s a girl, it would have to be with more than one other person. (Friend, young family member)

Go in groups safety in numbers

I was 4-5 running around the mall alone. My younger 2 are 11&12. I won’t allow them to leave the house without me. Too many scary manipulative people out there.
