What do you do if you're a single mom with a ten year old son
(or a single dad with a daughter of that age) and you take them to a public
place --especially one with a crowd of people? It might be okay (read safe) to
send them into the appropriate bathroom while you wait outside but what
do you do when you need to go? Leave them outside by themselves? This is
a real concern to a lot of people. If you're interested in making your
visitors "comfortable" its something to think about.   I'm sure an
acceptable arrangement could be worked out for coed bathroom if someone
really wanted to.
