Connecticut mom left two kids home alone while she vacationed in Florida with boyfriend: cops

A Connecticut mother who left her two young children home alone for two days and nights while she vacationed in Florida with her boyfriend in November has been arrested, according to reports.

Kerry Lyn Caviasca, a Watertown resident and teacher with the Waterbury Public Schools, allegedly left her kids – who are both under the age of 12 –  home alone from Nov. 20 to Nov. 22. The children survived off of candy, snacks and Uber Eats deliveries, according to court documents obtained by NBC Connecticut.

Caviasca’s ex-husband went to the Watertown Police Department in December to report that his wife – who has primary custody of the children – may have left the kids home alone. He told police that the students missed school on Monday, Nov. 22, and that he had been unable to contact them over that weekend.

He told police he sent his father to the house to check on them, but he wasn’t able to reach the kids. When he later asked the children whether they had been left home alone, they told him no, but he didn’t believe them, according to court documents.

He went through the messages of a cell phone he had provided one of the kids, which revealed several texts between the children and Caviasca from the weekend.

Well, now she's going to get a good long "vacation" in the stony lonesome.

Surprised they did not arrest the father for custodial interference or something.

It happened in Connecticut. She’s a female.  She’s a teacher.
Slap on the wrist, maybe.
