Would you leave kids this age alone for 3 hours?

[Qvar]

Boys ages 14, 14 but with some Sen, and 11. Girl aged 12. All have mobile phones, parents are sober but out of the house on the other side of town. Options please? (Please not this is Parenting, not AIBU)

Teeenager with SEN is fully verbal and predictable, but has poor focus on unwanted tasks

I would if it was not at night and the children had reliable neighbours who could help if there was any problems

Hard to know without knowing the children and their interactions.
I've been leaving my now 14 & 11 yo boys together home on their own for a few hours for at least a couple of years now.

Yes, if it's daytime.

Yes.

That seems fine to me.

Yes, I would.

Yes

If you have to ask I'd say no. I'd need to be sure myself.

Same if you need to ask I'd say no and if 14 year old SEN.

Good grief yes it's fine.

I used to babysit other children for longer than that when I was 13. I think the parent's judgment is the guide - they should know their children well enough to decide.

Yes, they are plenty old enough, depending on the sen of course.
