My kids are much younger, so I don't have any good parental advice to offer from personal experience, but I think a lot depends upon your kids. Are your kids mature for their ages, are they street smart, or naive? Are they used to nightlife back home? It might be a good idea to go out with them the first night or two, keeping a healthy distance so that they can still have fun,yet know that you are right across the club if they should need you. If they (and you) seem comfortable, then perhaps let them venture out alone the next night. Just take it one night at a time, set boundaries, and do what is comfortable and safe for all of you. I like another boardie's suggestion of providing them with a JA phone. Let us know how it turns out!
