I know :/ My youngest used to regularly wake up in the night up until he was 8/9ish, he would have totally freaked out if he woke up in the dark with no adult there, just that reason alone would have made me not leave him alone at home or anywhere else

We didn't even leave my first daughter with other people when she was young as she used to wake and look for us. Luckily, when she hit about 5, she started sleeping like a log. Too well if anything. No amount of noise wakes her (she used to be SUCH a light sleeper) and getting her OUT of bed for school is a military operation.

My younger daughter doesn't GAF who happens to be there if she wakes up (which she does, semi regularly). She just barrels back down the stairs and starts playing. Or just plays right there in the bedroom in the pitch dark .

and also, not only did they leave those babies alone like that, they did it after Maddie had told them that she and her younger brother had woken up the previous night and cried because they couldn't find their parents...... that is heartless to me
