The OP's state is one where there is no minimum age set. They do consider it on a case by case basis - especially if the parent has other issues as this article states. While I do think the OP's friend is WRONG to leave her kids home alone - if she is in fact doing so, it may not be the "slam dunk" many think it is.
Hmmmm.....since the OP posted "anon" we wouldn't have known where she was from. Now we do..... not sure she wanted us to know that though, hence the reason for posting "anon".
Nevertheless, I do not think that would actually apply to a two year old and a four year old. I am certain the local authorities would take issue with it, due to the very young ages.
I am glad the OP decided to call. Hopefully her mind is at ease now.
EDITED: My apologies....I have since learned that I missed in the OP that she states where she lives.
