Where were the parents?

Stuff reports:

Five youngsters, all aged 10 to 13, had been seriously hurt – four of them critically – in the late-night car crash near their farmhouse, roughly midway between Morrinsville and Matamata, on Monday.

The driver of a Nissan Tiida the youngsters had squeezed into had failed to take a slight bend on the Morrinsville-Walton Rd and flipped the car into a ditch, about 11.55pm.

I hope they all survive. Losing a child is probably the worst thing that can happen to a family.

But you do have to wonder where were the parents? Did they know their 10 to 13 year olds were out at midnight?
