Actually it depends on what state you are in as to legality. Louisiana the minimum age to be left alone or to be left alone and in charge/babysit for younger kids is 12.
Oh and if you still haven't heard from them you could contact the State Dept. to get in touch with the nearest US consulate/embassy.. is there one in Cuba? Communications could also be compromised by weather, it IS getting near storm season and some bad weather blew thru thataway over the weekend.
