Twins left alone while parents leave the country
Being left home alone may be a fun fantasy for some kids growing up, but for twin New Hampshire 9-year-olds, it was real life and far from fun. The Associated Press is reporting two boys were left to care for themselves for four months while their parents went to Nigeria with their three other children. Manchester police learned they were supposed to be cared for by their 25-year-old uncle, Giobari Atura, but he only stopped by on occasion to drop off food.
