Uncle left 9-year-old twins home alone for months.


A pair of 9-year-olds in New Hampshire who were left alone for days at a time over five months in their family's apartment with just ramen noodles to eat and no working telephone.  The twins' uncle, Giobari Atura who had been trusted to care for them , but only check up on them 3 days a week. The children told officials who were called to the home that they would "wake for school on their own, get ready for school, get on the bus and eat breakfast and lunch at school.” The parents told police they had spoken to Atura by phone while they were gone and were told "everything was OK." No charges are expected to be filed against the parents, because they "left the children in the care of the uncle.”
