acuityplague What a touchy situation. I don't know what I would do in your position. To me 7 and 5 seem awfully young to be left unsupervised. On the other hand I guess it depends on the maturity level of the 7 yearold. I know I would have never left my children alone...

BlueAngelRS I personally probably would report it that is too young to be staying at home alone even for a couple of hours anything could happen to them...Are you willing to let them come to your home til the parents come home? Maybe you could talk to them and help them...
