In a flashback scene, the main character has a bad dad. The dad takes his two kids camping and decides to have an affair with a waitress whom he meets at a diner.
So, he drops the kids off beside a logging road and tells them that it's time for them to learn to be self-reliant. Says, "Don't tell Mom, but I'm going to let you guys camp by yourselves tonight. I'll meet you right here in the morning."
The boy is a teenager and his sister is one year younger than he is.
My question: How old should the boy be?
I want the dad to be extremely irresponsible, but the story has to be believable.
Thanks.
