[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't have made that choice. My 11 year old still isn't home alone and I would hesistate to leave her in a vacation rental for 45 min even if she was used to it at home. She wouldn't know the neighbors if there was an emergency. However, an arrest was not necessary. I'm sure that traumatized the kids far more than the dogs running into the street while mom was out getting food. A warning should have been enough and they could have had CPS follow up the rest of the week. As a teacher in MCPS, I'm worried about the potential social impact as the kids as well. I hope their school is on the lookout for ostracism and bullying because their mom's mugshot is on the Internet.[/quote] My sense is that not leaving an 11 yo home some occasionally is unusually cautious.
