How long can a child of say 10-12 expect to be left alone by adults and/or authorities before action is taken to find parents? Could they stay in a village without being bothered or would they have to hide out in the woods or something?

The food would run out in the house, requiring trips to the grocery store, foraging, or stealing.Not necessarily.
The kid could order online, pay by credit card and have Tesco deliver to the house.

The downside of this is paying off the credit card. If the balance is too high and shows no sign of being paid, then the creditors will take an interest.
Which leads to another thing to think about - how is this kid getting money to support himself in the first place? Once the parents' bank account runs dry, what then?
No.
The travelling community in Ireland (and UK) are also known as tinkers or, less politely, knackers.
They are not associated with carnivals/circuses.

Yes true, but that could take a good long time if the credit card has a high limit on it.
