I'd never say my kids were always safe and well behaved but these parents really fucked up. What the hell were they thinking leaving a baby 2 others with a 13 year old anyway? The parents are lucky they didn't get reported to child services and they're more lucky nothing bad happened to any of the kids.
I’d want a bill, but seems fairly in line at $1300.

I agree with country. Leaving a 13 year old with a toddler at home is one thing, but in a hotel tasked with also watching other kids who weren’t even all her siblings? That’s idiotic and I’d have been worried about CPS getting called.

I see this a lot. Really young kids running the halls unsupervised. I used to see it at wrestling tournaments where I knew the parents, and they were moms who were convinced pedophilia and human trafficking were on some huge upswing and have hashtags with #savethechildren while letting their kids run around hallways. Seemed really weird and dangerous.

It would seem a 13 year old mature enough to watch a toddler and other kids would be mature enough to make a quick call if the younger kids defied her. If not, you’ve made a poor decision.

Split the bill for $650 each and be happy your kids are safe, CPS wasn’t called, and punish them appropriately.
