My son is five yrs old and sometimes I let him go in the mens room by hisself. He's very independent and I let him go every once in awhile alone. I'm always standing outside the door with it propped open and call his name at least 10 times!!! That way he feels like a big boy but yet I'm watching him. Also, if there's too many men in the bathroom at once, he doesn't go in. I'll take him to the ladies room. Now, when his father is with him, he goes in with him.
I think a kid should have some independence when it comes to the bathroom, but not all alone. Some of you may think that what I have just said is worng or what I'm doing is wrong, but that's how I handle my son. Plus, I think that it depends on the maturity of your child. But as far as leaving a child alone for almost an hour in the hot sun and you don't know about it, that's BS!!! If that kid was sleeping, one of the parents should've stayed out and then when the other parent came back, then the other parent could've went. How horrible!!!!
