They are apparently African, but the story doesn’t mention that. This might have something to do with their not choosing to mention to a neighbor that they were without adult supervision/assistance.

I wonder if the parents paid the utility bills in advance, but forgot about the cable.

I don't know how many people know this but real Africans that come to this country do very well for themselves. It's just so hard for them to keep their kids away from so called "African Americans."

There are exceptions, Somalis being one.

“”””They are apparently African...””””

Which explains why the parents haven’t been arrested for child neglect. Were they white parents the state would bring the hammer down.

“”I wonder if the parents paid the utility bills in advance, but forgot about the cable.””

I wondered how they got the bills paid too....perhaps that was one way but how about rent? Did the uncle take care of that? Maybe the parents were in touch with him and he could handle some of that when they were delayed in returning.

They deserve lots of credit for getting along so well. So many bad things could have happened. They knew when summer vacation was over and school began. Lots of credit!
