Not to go all Mark Cuban on you, but there is a slippery slope here. What age is acceptable to leave kids home alone?
I believe when I was around 9 or 10 when my mom would leave me in the summer home alone because she had to go to work. Considering she was a single mom, couldn’t afford a babysitter, she didn’t have much of a choice.
Would you consider tailgating a good enough reason to leave your kids for hours? You make the call.
Three Browns fans in Ohio did not take that all-too-important step before tailgating at the Cleveland-Baltimore game on Sept. 21, and as a result they were cited by police for child endangerment — because that’s what happens when you leave your kids home alone for several hours.
According to Cleveland.com, police found out that the three parents left the kids home alone because one of the children called 911 during a “group argument.” There were a total of five children between the ages of seven and 10 left home alone.
Since police aren’t in the job of babysitting, they had to call a cousin of one of the parents to come watch the kids until the adults returned from tailgating.
At least one of the parents, a 28-year-old male, is a serious tailgater. Police noted that as they left the home, the man pulled up in a giant tailgating camper. Go Browns!
I bet they were arguing about should Manziel start or not.
