Carl von Clausewitz joined the military at the age of twelve.

How mature are the two twelve year olds?
And was there an adult who was supposed to be coming but who was delayed?

There isn’t enough information here to condemn the parent.

The kids were supposed to be in school. Pretty hard for 12-year olds to juggle that schedule.

Johnston is mostly a very upscale area. Somebody did indeed notice the kids were alone after the first day.

The charges are all misdemeanors.

Are you kidding me?

Because this is an story where the kids are some country people in Iowa, that makes it ok because some dude 200 years ago was in a military?

I think Carl was moving into a well supervised home

I'm shaking my head in disbelief at your post....

"Clausewitz joined the military at the age of twelve."

The military took care of Clausewitz, not the other way around.

"There isn't enough information here to condemn the parent."

There's plenty of information here to condemn this creepy, uncaring, unnatural "mother". It's called the FACTS. The 4 children were left stark alone, "mature" in your opinion....or not.
