In Alberta a child can't be left alone at all before age 12. When I was 9 I stayed home sick alone, but my mom's place of work is literally a one minute walk from my house and she came home to check on me every 2 hours. I don't think I'd ever leave my teenager alone overnight, simply because whenever that happened while I was in high school word would get out and people would show up expecting a party. Maybe have an older friend stay with them or have the neighbours checking in every so often.
It's really sad that they got care for their dogs but not their children, I hope they get some help for that.
