Dear Fellow Visionaries:
As a parent of two children I was enlightened tonight by a kind Moscow police officer, that there is no code in the State of Idaho regarding leaving your children alone. I found this out when I had the need to contact the police department concerning 3 children 12,9,and4, who are friends with my children. These children are often left to their own devices for long periods of time, any where from 3-12 hours, while the parents attend to other "important matters". The officer informed me that as long as they have food, appear to be safe, and are warm, that the parents have violated no law. This made me both sad and angry that we as citizens of the State of Idaho are making it easy for parents not to be at home or at least to leave someone older to help this wonderful twelve year old girl with her added responsibilities. Please join me in contacting our legislators to look into this matter.
Thank you
Patty
