When Should Children Use Public Loos?
40 Answers
Was out with my Daughter in law today when my grandson needed the loo.
WE were in McDonalds in the shopping centre so she just said 'go on then' & off he went into the mens by himself.
We could see the main door from where we were sitting so knew he couldnt wander off bt I was a bit uncomfortable about this but maybe I was being over protective but when he comes out with me on my own he comes into the ladies with me.
He is 6 so at what age do you think its ok to go to the mens or too old to go into the ladies?
I'm talking about shopping centres & places like that.
Many thanks for your opinions.

You know of cases where kids are left out to play when it's gone dark and then they are taken and we all say, what were the parents thinking of letting them out so late.

This has nothing to do with common sense either!
If you let a child into a public toilet (even McDonald's) you do not know who is in there. If a man wanted to abuse a child, he would take a chance, just like people who break into your house when you are watching TV. He would be out of there without you knowing anything was wrong because the child would be still inside the toilet completely distressed.
It doesn't matter where you are, remember Jamie Bulgar? Taken from a busy shopping centre.
Sorry to keep going on about this but it's just one of those things I am passionate about, the safety of our children.

The chance of there being a predator in the toilet at the same time as your child is very slim.
By the way missprim, it is James Bulger (not bulgar), his parents never called him Jamie so why should we, the same goes for Madeline McCann, she was never called Maddie except by the press and public... one of my bugbears, sorry :)

I think a 6 I used to take him into the ladies, can't remember how old e was when he started to go in the gent's on his own. My daughter (who is 12) would still have me go into a public loo with her now if it's somewhere unfamiliar. We had more problems over swimming pool changing rooms than public loos.
This happened in McDonald's toilets
