Should I let my 12 year old child start hanging out at the local park with his (or her) friends without supervision by "the dreaded parent"?

Going To Park Without Supervision

If the park in question is only a few blocks away, is not highly infested with crime, drugs, or other dangerous activity, and has some form of open area, consider letting your child walk to the park with the stipulation that he (or she) has to carry a two-way walkie-talkie and must keep it on at all times. If you beep or ask a question, he (or she) must answer or you will be down at that park faster than he (or she) can say boo!
