lol i've spent the majority of the past 20 years living in asia, and kids as young as 5 are treated as fully independent (they ride transit to and from school, run errands, etc.) friendly reminder that single digit aged people would have jobs in the west until very recently, and even the age of marriage in delaware was 7. 11 years old? the "kid" is in junior high, basically a fully formed adult already. i seriously can't comprehend this trend of "but they can't!" when the people criminalizing this behavior were themselves fully independent or near fully independent when they themselves were children 40-50 years ago. i guess they all have collective amnesia from all the leaded gas and shit.
