the 12 year olds were in charge?
I would hope so.
Well there were two 12 year olds, so that’s like one 24 year old, right?...................
At that age, I was 5'5," had a paper route, knew how to buy groceries & use the phone, knew the police chief's name, knew well the pastor of my church, could cook, clean, make sure my younger brother was OK, had an aunt and uncle within walking distance. Not saying the Iowa mother was OK by leaving, but it's not the worst of crimes.
Sounds like the US Senate.
