        How dangerous is Rehobeth Beach that this was a thing that needed to happen? I certainly remember being alone a lot at 8 and 9.

        That's not fair. I don't think this is right. Parents leave kids at home all the time to run quick errands. 8&9 2 kids isn't bad

        I grew up on a farm and left at home by myself while they worked in the fields... NO cell phones either!

        I don't think the police want to be called to babysit, but it beats getting arrested.

        Sending out / publishing a mugshot for a misdemeanor? Is there more to this case than is in the story?

        They should've been told to stay locked in their room. 8 & 9 aren't too young to be left alone for under an hour.
