I have a daughter,age 6.She doesn't go to school.There were many times I have left her alone and everything was OK.But I know it's illegal,so some other parents and I decided to alternate with looking after the kids.They are 5,George(4),Dinna(2),Gareth(6),my daughter Linda(6) and Mathew(3).I was at home with them for 3 hours,while the other parents went for a walk.In these 3 hours Mathew fell of the bed and broke his arm.George sprained his ankle,Dinna and Linda hurt their noses.When the kids are alone at home,these things NEVER happen.Maybe I should leave them alone.What do you thing?

The big question here is what if all of those things happened while they were home alone? Even if you instruct your children to call 911 in an emergency situation, YOU would be in jeopardy of losing your children, because social services would be called in, due to child abandonment issues.
These children are way too young to be left alone, even for a moment. Find some reliable child care, or stay home with them. Seriously, it is a terrible idea to ever leave them alone at this stage of their lives.

What were you doing that you didn't KNOW how these kids were getting hurt and why didn't you stop it??? Watching a child means just that - WATCHING them, not just letting them do their own thing while you do yours.
You should contact your local social worker and get some help - you sound like you need parenting classes and some basic first aid skills. And if I was the parent of those children, I would NEVER have you watch my kids again.
When you decide to have a child, you have to change your life style whether you like it or not - that means that if you have to go do something, you either take the kids with you or you don't do it. What kind of example do you think that you are setting for your daughter?

Kids should never be left to their own devices. Sorry to hear about all their pains, but Besides it being illigeal, if that stuff happens when their is a parent around what else could happen if a parent isn't around.
Come on now, Who are the adults and who are the children.
I am sure this stuff does happen when their aren't any adults around the kids probably just don't tell the parents about it for fear that they won't get left alone any more.
Don't you remember what it was like to be a kid, when you wanted the house to yourself, ussually to get into things you weren't supposed to or would get caught typically when your parents where home. Well kids today have way too much time on their hands and being left alone is one of them.
You should chaulk it up to experience and keep on doing what the adults agreed to do.
Honestly Any parent needs to think, What about preditors that are waiting for kids to be home alone....They can't protect themselves and that is why parents need to be their..When you have a kid you take on the responsibility of caring for your kids at any age untill they are grown and move out of your house.

maybe you shold never have had a child in the first place. Your daughter is 6 years old and should be at school, to get a proper education. And as for looking after these other kids... Well what were you doing while they had all these "accident". You should be barred for lokoking after children. Dont your care about your chi;d? If you did then you would never leave her home alone.
You need therapy

if all those things happened at once social services would have been all over it. If you want to lie to get a rile out of people at least make it believable. You sound like a bored 13 yr old.
Maybe I'm giving you too much credit based on your other posts I'd say closer to a 10 year old boy.

Apparently you aren't sure how old you are.. or your children either. I sure hope you get some help. Check the site below. There might be something useful for you there.

WHAT?!?!
No, you can't just leave them at home. And the idea behind someone being there is that they actually WATCH them.
