Free Range Children is the solution. Obviously, I'm not talking of abandonment or neglect.

But, if you have a 12 or 13 year old, you should be able to hand them a bus schedule (or app, I guess these days) and $40 and leave them at the train station and they should be able to get back home on their own.
