Agree 99%. Two caveats:

• In situations like this, yes. But there are certainly many situations a 10 year old is not equipped to deal with that adults are, because:
• Remember that 10 year olds do not have the same comprehension, vocabulary, or mental resilience of an adult. Words can have long-term effects on their development that they might not for most adults.

(Saying this for OP more than for you, BTW)
