在新南威尔士州的DOCS官方文件里,明确说了澳洲大部分州是没有Leave child home alone的年龄限制的。
What does the law say in Australia?
There is no actual law that states at what age children can or cannot be left alone, but the law is clear about the responsibility of parents to look after their children.
In many cultures it is usual for children to care for brothers and sisters.
While different societies have different customs, in Australia there is a legal obligation for parents to make sure that their children are properly looked after.
Parents are expected to provide food, clothing, a place to live, safety and supervision.
Parents can be charged with an offence if children are left in a dangerous situation and are not fed, clothed or provided with accommodation.
但是在Queensland刑法里有一条,CRIMINAL CODE 1899 - SECT 364A ,提到了12岁的年龄限制。
完整段落如下:
CRIMINAL CODE 1899 - SECT 364A
364A Leaving a child under 12 unattended
(1) A person who, having the lawful care or charge of a child under 12 years, leaves the child for an unreasonable time without making reasonable provision for the supervision and care of the child during that time commits a misdemeanour.
Maximum penalty--3 years imprisonment.
(2) Whether the time is unreasonable depends on all the relevant circumstances.
所以不能孤立地下个定义说,12岁以下不能独自在家,因为condition applies. |
