Isn't it classed as child abuse in the eyes of the law to leave your kids without supervision? I have heard of friends of friends getting fined by the police when their pre-teens were home alone and tried to cook a meal. They started a fire and the fire brigade needed to be called to put it out. Social services was called and checked up on them for a few months too.
There has been a case in USA recently, when visiting tourists from Switzerland actually left their sleeping small baby in bed and got out of the hotel to get some dinner in a restaurant. I don't remember the story well, the hotel service found the baby alone in the hotel room, called the director and police and charges were made against the Swiss couple. They argued that there is a cultural difference, haha...I think the charges were later on dismissed. I heard it a few months ago on WRS, maybe it is in their archive, still. Cultural difference ma as*..
