I valet a 24' cuddy, $2400. In order to move the boat away from the fork lift, they have to start it. A rare problem, as we shut everything off. If your batteries are run down, there is something draining the battery that should be shut down. Somebody in our family once left a cabin light on, unnoticed by us in the daylight It didn't start, they jump started it, let it run to charge it up, and loaned us a jump box for overnight, just in case. No big deal. Maybe the "kids" you refer to would function better with a $10 reminder once in a while, or a plate of homemade cookies?
