Parents, how do you feel about letting your children (ages ten and below) commuting by themselves? Especially around Manila where a lot of bad things can happen?

I am not really confident about my child commuting at an early age. We may want to delay it as much as possible. Even if we want to teach independence to our child, it's really hard to give him that kind of freedom and responsibility to take care of himself alone. It's a no for us.
