What does the law say?
In Queensland, the criminal code, section 364a, under the title "Leaving a child under 12 unattended", states:
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.
In Victoria you'll find "offence to leave child unattended" under section 494 of the Children, Youth and Families Act 2005.
It says a person who has the control or charge of a child must not leave the child without making reasonable provision for the child's supervision and care for a time which is unreasonable having regard to all the circumstances of the case.
In NSW, according to Family and Community Services, there is no actual law that states at what age children can be left alone, but the law is clear about the responsibility of parents to look after their children.
to look after their children.
However, anyone who leaves any child or young person in a motor vehicle without proper supervision — potentially or actually causing emotional or physical harm — is guilty of an offence. |
