For more than six million American children, coming home from school is equivalent to returning to that empty house. Some children just watch TV to kill time, while others just disappear (→ _→ hide). But they all have something in common. They spend some time alone every day. They are "key children" and can take care of themselves when their parents are working. Their harsh conditions have become a topic of increasing concern.

Lillit Lang is a junior high school principal. She said: "Our school rules stipulate that students are not allowed to wear jewelry. But many children have a chain around their necks and a key tied tightly to it. I always let them put this chain on their T-shirts. Too many children are like this! ! I didn't realize what this meant before. " Later, she realized that this was their key.

She and her husband started talking to these children. They learned that both parents (workers' families? Can you understand this? I'm thinking → _→) and the influence of single-parent families on children. Fear is the biggest problem these children face when they are alone. One in three children who are called to talk says that they are always afraid! ! !

Most children say they have nightmares! ! They are all worried about their personal safety! ! ! !

The second most common thing is watching TV, and the sound has to be turned up. The headmaster and his wife understand that it is really difficult to change this situation. However, more parents don't agree to leave their children alone ~
