I expect to get flamed, but children at that age can take care of themselves and the younger ones for a couple of weeks. I don´t remember being helpless from ten on. Although I wouldn't do such a thing, I don't see this as abuse, however there should have been at least one responsible adult nearby who the kids rely on.

I agree with you.
I must say, that when I was left with the responsiblility of my family (post #70), and should there have been a life/death emergency, I could have depended on relatives although they didnt live in the immediate area. But that never entered my mind at the time. I was responsible and that was it.
