Thank GOD!!!

Wow, 13 and 10 year old boys?? I wouldn't leave my 9 mo old with 13 and 10 year old GIRLS and they tend to be more maternal and mature earlier.

The mother of this child needs to be investigated. In Georgia, you have to be 14 before you can be left in charge of another child.

I was baby sitting my nephews when I was around 12. They turned out alright.

That is a good idea, and even some 14 yr olds can be 'immature'. I wouldn't leave my little children with 10 & 13 yr old boys either, or girls for that matter.. Here in my area, though, it's quite common. Many 11 & 12 yr olds, mostly girls, routinely babysit for even young babies. Many of them take a 'babysitters' course offered through some local group.

The state needs to bug out of this and leave it for the family to tend the issue. Theoretically the boys SHOULD have been old enough. Since when do states make the baby-sitter rules?

Some ten year olds are perfectly capable of babysitting a child, but maybe not for such a long period. As a matter of fact I have known ten year old baby sitters who were more capable than the teen age sitters, who were more interested in the opposite sex, than the job they were hired to do. The problem with this story is that there didn't seem to be ANY adult in the family.
