SAN FRANCISCO – Mar 8, 2006 – Korean-American parents are facing increasing scrutiny for leaving small children home alone, a widespread and culturally accepted practice in South Korea, reports the Korean-language Korea Daily.
In Korea, it is common for parents to leave their children under the age of 10 home and unattended when they go out or to work. In the United States, however, such an action can lead to the parents’ arrest and a child being taken from the home.
