A mum has sparked debate after saying she feels 'uneasy' about her son going to his friend's house for a sleepover. The woman said her 12-year-old son has been invited to his pal's house to stay with five other friends - but she is reluctant to let him go.
The mum says she is unsure because the children will be staying in a holiday annex - which is separate from the main house. Posting on Mumsnet, she said: "Dd is 12 and has been invited on a sleepover at a new friends house with 5 others.
They are going to be staying in her friends parents holiday annex which is next door to the main house. This has made me feel a little uneasy but I am overprotective so wondering how others would feel."
