<p>Sorry about the bickering, you are right.</p>
<p>Use common sense.
-Don’t go out really late if you can help it.
-Walk with a friend if you must.
-Take basic safety precautions.
-Don’t carry/show off anything extremely valuable.</p>
<p>I understand your apprehension and worry for your child. My mother was the same way, you must let go and tell him everything that he needs to know. He will handle himself and learn lessons about life through his experiences. You can only ‘shelter’ a child for so long; I think that you understand and I wish your son and you the best of luck.</p>
