In some states there are laws regarding at what age you
can leave a child alone, I think it's some where around
11 or 12.  

In Illinois there is an 800 number to call to report 
child neglect, I don't know if it's true every where 
or not.

I would think if the police have been by several times
the proper child welfare agencies were also contacted.

I would also think the only area where the agencies might 
interfer is in the case of the SMALL childern, but I could
be wrong, and for your sake I sincerely hope so.
