It means that when whoever is in charge is gone, those that were afraid to act up or disobey will fool around and act silly.

Roughly translated, this proverb means that without supervision, people will do what they want to do. An example is when parents of teens leave for a weekend and tons of kids show up 10 minutes after they're gone for a huge bash. A second example is when a class of school kids has a substitute teacher and misbehaves in ways they'd never dream of with their regualr teacher.
