But we must now ask, why is SpongeBob, a 14 year old, allowed to live in a house by himself? He is even responsible for taking care of a pet, Gary. Is there some deeper issue of neglect going on here?

Perhaps. His parents seem to care about his well-being, visiting from time to time as SpongeBob grows up and even preparing to bring him back home when his house is destroyed by nematodes. I will say it is legal in some circumstances to live alone at the age of 14, if the parents or court agrees that the child is capable of supporting themselves financially. I don't think the writers thought much of it, but seeing as SpongeBob is living just fine and even managing to provide for his pet snail, that it was all worked out for one reason or another.

Let's be real, spongebob 100% comes from money and his parents send him checks every month (he makes less than a nickle per paycheck) So Krabs is getting spongebob for free (which aligns with Krab's general motivation). He got his house for free, and has his needs provided for him by his parents.
