During the summer vacation, children are often left to their own devices while parents work.

someone 是可替换的代词,可对应 kids / children / teenagers 等具体名词;their 作为对应"某人"的物主代词,会随主语变成 his / her / my / your 等。整个短语 leave someone to their own devices 是固定习语,字面意思是"把某人留给自己的安排",引申为"对其放任自流、任其自行其是",强调不加管束、任由对方按自己的方式行事。
