Ask Amy: The neighbor’s teenager is home alone. Should I call CPS?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:01:20 GMT

Dear Amy: I’ve become aware that my neighbor has been leaving her 13-year-old at home alone while she goes to work on Saturdays.I’m concerned about this child and wonder if I should call CPS to report this parent for neglect? Concerned NeighborDear Concerned: Thirteen-year-olds are capable of being home for a number of hours on their own. For many of us who were raised by single parents (or raised our children as single parents), this “latch-key” life is completely normal.A few years ago, I became curious about the longer-term impact on children who had been left on their own at home after school while parents worked.I asked a group of young adults about this and they all claimed that they usually had a few chores they were expected to do, that their parent checked in regularly, and that they filled the rest of their time doing homework, watching TV, and basically enjoying their independence.Obviously, there are risks for anyone being alone in a house. If you are truly concerned, yo...

To top it off, my wife wasn’t even working at the time. She was busy scrolling through TikTok on her phone!I know this may not be the biggest issue in the world, but I find it annoying that my wife continues to insist she’s in an impossible working situation. I work a manual labor job that causes me to have back issues.
