For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming back to an
empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have

children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a
subject of concern.

Lynette Long was once the principal of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule
against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly
telling them to put the keys inside shirts. There were so many keys; it never came to my mind what they
meant”. Slowly, she learned that they were house keys. She and her husband began talking to the children
who had keys. They learned of the effect working couples and single parents were having on their
children. Fear was the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. One in three latchkey children the
Longs talked to reported being frightened.
Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety. The most common way latchkey
children deal with their fears is by hiding. They may hide in a shower stall, under a bed or in a closet. The
