What is it that you fear would happen to them?

Primarily that they'd embarrass me by ganging up and picking on robots.

But besides that that they'd do something stupid, or wander off, or something else along those lines.

I don't think this is just a US attitude, either - when we lived in Italy, we wouldn't have let our kids wander around the mall there, either, nor would other parents.
