If it were, boarding schools would be illegal. In the not too distant past it wasn't uncommon at all (especially for the wealthy) to ship their kids off at ~10 and only see them at school breaks until they reached adulthood. There are a lot of reasons someone else might be caring for your child long term. We dont know the kids have been inside or isolated the whole time. I think step 1 is just to verify there are still children to protect, which might happen tomorrow.
Sure, there are a variety of reasons that parents might send their kids somewhere to be cared for long-term. JJ was already moved around like that between his adoptive parents and grandparents, another aunt, etc. and I know many teens who go have independent adventures away from family, stay with others, etc.. But in all of those cases, your kid would be easily accounted for. You know where they are and it isn’t a secret, communication is allowed, records are kept. Especially in the case of a 7 year old.
