“I do not agree. 12 year olds may be left for a few hours by themselves, but for over a week, no way. The “authorities” were well advised to step in here.”

I’m almost wondering if these was some “mom” from the inner city that left her kids alone to go on vacation, would all of these guys be bending over backwards to make excuses!

“duuuuur when I was 12 I had a paper route and knew all the cops in town!”

And I guarantee none of thee guys were left home to watch their siblings while their parents took off overseas either.

Exactly. The stories of “when I was that age” are predicated on having a parent or supervising adult relative at hand. According to this report, this woman made no such arrangement.
