And you have checked the local listings for Pedophiles alone the way?

At least so that you can warn her who not to go for if she needs help?

And she has had some sort of training to avoid the common dangers?

And she calls you when she reaches the house and you have an alarm set to
remind you if you have not received that call? 

She has a cell phone?

I don't know where you live in the USA, and I will not pretend to know what
is better for your daughter than you do, but this is not a chance I would
take in Escondido, CA with my daughter, even at the age of 13. If it is
something that must be done, or that you decide to do, I believe the most
important thing is to do everything you can to reduce the risks.

My youngest daughter (who is 9) has been walking home from school.
It's less than a mile, along but not crossing a relatively busy
street. ...  People call the police: "there's this little girl
walking alone on this busy street..."  They've shown up once or
twice, and neighbors who know things are ok have intervened now
and then.  We DO think it's relatively safe; the last suspected
pedophile who tried the "have you seen my lost dog" ploy on some
local young teens turned out to in fact be looking for his lost
dog.  But other people's perceptions are ... interesting.

We hope she'll look less ... noteworthy, now that she's riding
a bike instead of walking.  (alas, this DOES involve crossing
the busy street if she wants to obey bike traffic rules.)
