If she was climbing some massive bit of choss I think that would be a bit different but toproping on a crag that gets bulk traffic wouldn’t be much of an issue in regards to falling rocks. Yes it can happen, but it would be pretty slim. Again, the kid should probably be wearing a helmet, but thats another discussion.

I think what she did was probably as dangerous for the kid as going for a ride on a bike, or climbing a tree. Actually, tree climbing is probably more dangerous!
