A 9 and 12 year old are fine alone during the day but two days is a bit much in today’s world.

12 years old is old enough to baby sit. I don’t see what the issue is here.
It wasn’t that long ago that people married at 12 and 13

Shanpreta and Antowain... clearly traumatized by the names given to them by their own parents.

It’s right on the line for me. If it was just a 12 year old, still not thrilled, but I could see it depending on the maturity of the 12 year old.
If it were a 14 year old and a 9 year old, two days is about the limit with frequent phone calls.
But I sure wouldn’t suggest a 12 and a 9 year old alone for 2 days.
Does it rise to the level of “child endangerment”? I think that is an overreach by the government.

Twelve for a few hours, okay. Overnight in an emergency? Probably okay. Flying to Vegas to gamble is NOT an emergency. Sorry, but these parents are ignorant and extremely selfish.

The chicago tribune doesn’t care one bit about these kids. The story is meant to show how bad parents are and confirm the rightness of abortion. This is a disguised abortion story.
