Well when i was a child i remember being left at 8am by my mother who worked ( my father had left for work much earlier) i was left with colouring pencils, a colouring book and a bottle of lucozade til lunch time when she came back to check on me and then left til 5.30 when she finished work - it was not looked upon as neglect back then , i hated being left alone especially as i had scarlet fever ,but i never ever left my own child alone and i have actually reported women who have , this comes from my knowing a girl who went clubbing and left her kids alone at night, her house burnt down with her two small children inside ! My mother never left us alone at night though.
My partner is a postie and he regularly gets small children just opening the door as their parents are still in bed and lots are alone quite young in the school holidays , so i think this problem is more widespread than we think !
