by the time I got there, they were walking back up the driveway. There was a religious pamplet in the door. It was a young girl, early teens. She walked back down the driveway, and asked me if she could use my bathroom. I said no, but I feel quilty about it. Would you have let her?

No. What every group she was with needs to call a break and go to a place with public bathrooms.

I looked and did not see a car, or an adult. I felt sorry for her, but did not want her in my house, no matter her age. I would have shut the door before she got back to the house, but the stupid dog got out.

I have watched too many Criminal Minds. I would be wondering, is she planting a camera to watch my habits, to kill me. Is someone around the corner and when I let her in will this person barge in and kill me? Or is she checking to see how big my tv is so she knows what size of vehicle to bring when she breaks in...then kill me!!

A young teen alone, asking to come into a stranger's house to use a bathroom? That's scary from a parental standpoint. I'd probably contact the local outlet for that group and encourage them to instruct their young people on safety.

No way am i letting strangers in my house. I have given a kid a drink that was looking for a paper route but I didn't let him in and I gave him a bottled drink and sent him on his way. That's as generous as I get. I once had a Mormon roommate and I guess it's common to go to the house of another Mormon that you don't know. Two young guys came asking for my roommate and when I said she was at work they asked if they could wait for her. I said no, it would easily have been several hours, in I'm not sure what they thought they would be doing while waiting but I told them they could come back later and they never did. I'm surprised they thought a stranger would let them hang out in their gone while they waited...and I asked her, she didn't know them, but they probably got her name and address from church.

No I wouldn't have let her in my home. Truthfully I wouldn't have even opened the door. lol Doorbell rings I go to the door and look out the peephole. When I saw her walking down the driveway and knew she was a stranger I would've walked away from the door and went back to whatever I had been doing.

No, but I would have directed her to the nearest store with a public restroom.

Absolutely not.
I would have felt guilty too. But I would have felt a whole lot worse if I had let a stranger in and got robbed, or scammed, or Lord knows what else.
I HATE that I've come to feel this way. But I do. And that's for my own well being and safety, though I'm not proud of it.

Unfortunately, no. It's a very scary world we live in today, and we can't ever be too careful with our own personal safety. Probably it would have been ok, but had she been up to no good, you (or your survivors) would have always thought, "You knew better than that. Why did you let her in??"

No. There's a 7-11, Walgreens and CVS just down the main road the runs outside our subdivision. Their public restrooms will be happy to meet her needs.

No, I won't even open my door unless it's someone I know...and maybe not even then depending on who it is, lol  |

No I wouldn't have let her in. I wouldn't have opened my door. I always open the kitchen window and ask what they want.

I'll be the exception to the rule - yes - I would have let her in to use the restroom. The nearest public restroom to my house is a good 45 minute walk away (at a brisk stride). While I would NOT want my young daughter asking a stranger to use their restroom, I would hope that in an emergency, another mum would be kind to her and thus, that's the behaviour I want to model.

No, I would never let a girl I don't know into my house. I have no idea if she is a criminal or a good person. Not worth taking the chance.
The group should have plans made for when the helpers need to use the restroom or get something to eat.

No. She could have been baiting you w/someone lurking nearby. If she was legitimate then I'd worry about her common sense. On the other hand, she could look young, but be older.
