Police were called to the Johnston home of 30-year-old Erin Lee Macke on Sept. 21 after receiving a report that children had been left unsupervised, the Des Moines Register reported.
While conducting a welfare check, police found Macke’s four children – two 12-year-olds, a 6-year-old and a 7-year-old -- alone.
Police discovered that Macke left the U.S. a day earlier and wasn’t set to return until Oct. 1, the Register reported. She did not arrange any supervision for the children, authorities said.

Gotta wonder what quality level the man is who wants this mess? 4 kids. And ya just know there were, at minimum, two Baby Daddies.
Local story here.
I first heard and thought maybe mom had gone to a local German restaurant and left the kids for a few hours.
But no she went to Germany!
They are twins.
Yes, and that is why politicians/government want to make sure nobody is allowed to actually grow up and mature. If a person becomes responsible, especially at an early age, the politicians can't rule them.
Who stayed with the children at night?
the logical extension of liberalism.
“Who stayed with the children at night?” I did. I spent the entire week (day and night) at their house. I think I was paid $40 and the parents brought me back a silver roadrunner necklace with turquoise in it (I still have the necklace).
Hey, it takes a village.
wrong
you only have the self serving gov‘t agents tale of what happened.
LOL then how do you know it’s wrong. take a hike!
Let’s see, when I was 12 years old, I took a bike ride to Cape Cod with my friend. Are kids today immature or is it that the news warns us about kids today being in danger of X?

I don't know, probably some of both. I do know a woman who leaves pre-teen kids alone, unsupervised, for 10 days and leaves the country is not someone most people would consider a responsible parent.
worship of the state is not libertarian my good friend and fellow freeper.
Sounds like the US Senate.
You need to remember that these kids are being raised in the 21st century in the United States. This is pretty bad IMO. Not to say she had a stable mind to begin with.
She was charged with making a gun available to a person under 21? Huh? They would lock up most Freepers and throw away the key on this one.
In my own defense, it was Iowa. There are a lot of facts missing here, and the fact that the government was involved is a + for the mother. Smells to me of “nanny state.” But you may be correct.
worship LOL. And letting children be abused is worshipping the state? You have a very interesting logical framework. not common, but interesting.
the state always says they are protecting the children
and there are always children who need protection. so see how that works?
