I have an uncle (15) and aunt (13) that pick up little one on occasions when grandma is running late. I have a written note that they are ok to pick up. They are my neighbors so picking up is just walking her up the hill. The aunt and uncle are much more responsible for little one than her mom is (who does not have custody) I anticipate that once uncle turns 16 he will be picking up more often- to meet grandma in town etc.
If parents say their 17 yr old is ok. I would release the child to him. If I saw anything that concerned me - inability to safely secure child etc then I would have a discussion.

:I showed my mom this and she said when dad and her would come home each weekend from the military they would pack the back seat floor board with clothes to make it even with the backrow seat and my brothers and I would play the entire way home and sometimes fall asleep. Of course this was in the late 60's early 70's. Times do change. 
This was in the late 70s and early 80s. Now, it gives me a heart attack to even think that a child might not be in a proper seat or positioned correctly in said seat! How did we ever survive?! I don't know!:
