Home Alone Was A Cute Movie But Not Realistic

I'm not embarrassed to admit that I enjoyed the movie, "Home Alone." It was fun and cute. Of course, it was completely unrealistic. I was a latchkey kid growing up because both my parents worked. It was for only a couple of hours after school and I was usually hanging out with my friends in the neighborhood anyway. It was no big deal and pretty common back in those days. Nothing like the fictional movie.

In Kenosha, police were called about a barking dog. When they arrived at the residence, a young crying girl answered the door. She is ten and the parents left her home alone to care for siblings that are seven, three, and one. As the officers questioned the child, they could smell weed. She told them her parents sold marijuana.
