[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check your local laws, but you can always call for a welfare check with the police who can inform him of the laws. You don't want to file a custody motion and then call CPS. They'll investigate you too, so decide what path you are taking (personally I'd call CPS or the police first because it won't cost me 30K)[/quote] DC doesn't have a lower age limit to be home alone, and even in Maryland it's 8. CFSA isn't going to do anything if the kids aren't left overnight. [/quote] False. In Maryland leaving an 11 year old alone until 10pm in circumstances she feels uncomfortable in could consititute neglect. There’s a lot of discretion. https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/mcfrs-info/tips/parents/childcare.html[/quote] Sorry, what part of that statute talks about “feeling uncomfortable?” This may not be the best parenting but “best parenting” is not actually required under the law (and is subjective, anyway).[/quote]
