Hey, if it’s not against the law to let 12 year olds watch their siblings a couple hours after school until a parent gets home that evening after work, then it’s ok to let a 12 year old watch them while a parent takes off to Europe. Two 12 year olds make it double ok. Right?
Were both 12 year olds birthed by her as in twins or did one belong to someone else?
They could also have been some 10 to 11 months apart. Maybe the mother was into the so-called Free Range treatment of children.
