well I guess she really doesnt care what happens because another Mom told me that she saw her this morning and her DD wasnt with her
she is asking for trouble
how totally irresponsible, really disgusting if you ask me
there is NO excuse for leaving your child home alone at 7, NONE !!!! single mom or not
SHES MATURE ENOUGH, NO???

I really think YOU have an obligation to report this mother's behavior to the authorities and let them handle it. It isn't your place to say if it's right or wrong...that is the police department's and CPS' place. However, you do have the obligation to report.
How would you feel if something were to happen to that child and you did nothing?

I'd be on the phone with CPS. God forbid something happened to that child when she was home alone sleeping  If I had knowledge of this and could prevent a tragedy, then I would.

The more I think about this, the less I get it. In addition to it being a bad idea, it sounds like she could be opening herself up to a CPS investigation, especially if she is mentioning this to enough people. Just a thought.
exactly... I voted 'call CPS'....
I believe them discovering that could be sufficient grounds to take the kids

In New York there is no minimum legal age - Reference
It is super hard being a single mom and im sure she wants the 7 year old to get more sleep rather than be up, dressed and out of the house an hour or so early
however, i personally would not do it
oh, I stand corrected... so it's not grounds to take the kids... but it still is extremely poor judgement

I don't see how so many people are saying anything about her being a single mom. This had nothing to do with that...it's about her being to lazy to get her daughter out of bed. It's not like she doesn't have a choice...she does...and i'm sorry that choice is wrong!!
I'm sure many 7 year olds would be ok staying home for 1/2 hour if nothing was to happen but how many would seriously know how to handle a bad situation? Probably not many.
