Five year olds should be supervised by a parent. Anything less is

I've heard the same about fifteen year olds.

And I believe it's true to a lesser extent. While I'm not going to
research the law, I'm reasonably sure there is one that prohibits a
parent from leaving a child of less than a certain age without
supervision.

With the loss of the nuclear family in our nation, and the prevalence
of working mothers, whether through necessity as a single parent or
ambition, there is no one at home to rear children these days. Even
the grand parents who might benefit themselves by supervising the
upbringing of their grand children are not on the scene. Latch-key
kids are left to their own, society suffers the consequences:
uncivilized behavior.
