Say you have two kids,one a girl of 17 and a boy of 12 alone at home but still u trust them at some risk?

Question

These days it's difficult to differentiate between minor and major so abuses or incestuous things cud be going on at any rate anywhere so can anyone of u suggest something to tackle the above problem. This is not my problem but my close relation's problem. The parents are both working so u can imagine what cud go wrong at home with the ready use of the internet,tv,games and various other things...pls advise

Answer 1

ahaha, it depends on the moral foundation, spiritual values, and up bringing of the kids. But generally speaking, nowadays, kids at that age range are incorrigible.

Answer 2

17 is not to be trusted, but the 12 should rat the other out. Unless 17 bribed 12! But you can bribe better! Good luck! You want to know the BEST and (only) cure?! Raise 'em right in the first place, and you just might be alright! If you raised 'em right, you should trust 'em! (And not ask strangers for advice on how to raise your children!) I Raised my little sister mostly (9 yrs. difference) and now she (sometimes) gives ME sound advice. But our parents sucked too. Try actual parenting and spend time with your kids, it's been proven to produce results. And it's a HELL of a lot more effective than spending time on the internet asking about your kids instead of getting to know them, finding out their concerns, and actually being interested in what's going on in their lives. A good tan and looking good at the next PTA meeting does nothing for your children! Invest in your children, and they just might invest in you! You've probably got a stock portfolio. Want to invest in your future? Teach your kids a thing or two! Log out! The next answer is not as important as your children! But you're gonna read it anyway. Dumbass!

Answer 3

I don't think siblings would be playing 'doctor' with each other. Friends yes, Cousins maybe, but I don't think there's anything to worry about unless there has actually been a problem. Besides -the girl is much older than the boy so it doesn't seem likely.

Answer 4

There is unlikely to be a problem due to the fact that girls are more sincere and mature and they understand relations and abuses better. And the age gap would also make her more protective towards her little brother.

Answer 5

me and my sister have a five year age difference so at some point in time i was 12 and she was 17 we argued alot about using things but nothing really big happened also sometimes we would have good conversations.i dont think there is anything to be worried about

Answer 6

it all depends on children, my three were left alone alot, when they were 14 and younger, due to their mother working and step father was at sea but when i visited they were okay being by themselves. you have to trust sometimes but also monitor

Answer 7

Set up a 'nanny cam' so you can watch the action!

Answer 8

Definitely not, regardless of age! Be safe than be sorry.

Answer 9

i think you have a trust issue not them

Answer 10

no way.. I'll find a nanny instead..
