At what age is it okay for you to let your children be left alone?

When are your kids old enough to be left alone? A mother in Tennessee is facing felony child abuse and neglect charges after an incident involving her 5-year-old and 8-year-old children last week.

April Lawson said she watched her children walk to a park that she can see from her home, according to WCYB.com . She then went inside.

When the kids didn't return for awhile, she got worried.

She walked up to the park. When she found the kids weren't there, she called 911.

The children reportedly ended up at a neighbor's house.

When police showed up they put in kids with Child Protective Services and put Lawson in jail for the night.

Do you think she should be charged?
