My husband and I just found out that his daughter's mother has been leaving her home alone after school for about an hour or so. She walks home about three-four blocks from the bus stop to an empty house and then stays inside for about an hour to an hour and a half until her mother gets home from work. The mom says she can do whatever she wants on her time. Basically, she doesn't want to have to pay for daycare! We only live three blocks from them, and I offered to pick her up at the bus stop each day and watch her at our house each afternoon, even though it's not our time to have her, but she refused. I don't know if there is anything legal we can do about it, but I think it is wrong to leave a 9 year old home alone! She treats this poor kid like she's a teenager (has a cell phone, etc). It's nuts. Is there anything we can do??
Thanks in advance.
