Hey all, jacli here :)
I don't know. I have to be honest here. I started
babysitting my
little brother when I was 8. Now maybe it is different now
than in
the late 70s but when I was little most everybody was a
babysitting
pro by the time they hit 11 or 12.
I really think it is a matter of case by case. You have to
know your
child and their level of maturity. I have met very mature
10 year olds and
incredibly immature 30 year olds.

At the time same time I think that if you feel very
strongly that your neighbor
is behaving irresponsibly toward his children and
abandoning them why
not confront him? It maybe that you are right but it may
also be that if you
confront him with your perceptions he may adjust his.
Also, while I'm sure the
little boy you spoke with is a nice kid, he is just that.
He may not have all the facts or he may have them but
simply not have shared them with you.

Well, hope this helps :) take care, Jacli
