I'm 14, a friend was going to take me out, but a problem appeared, my mum, older sister, and dad were at work so I was on my own, she was going to leave her kids with me, but then she thought I had to be 16 to look after her kids on my own. Does the law say I can look after children at 14, please no "I Think....." statements, if you 100% know and even know a website that has this matter on it, please let me Know as I want to know if I can look after these two little friends of mine.

No. If something happened to the younger child (from an accident or a burn or letting the wrong person into the house) and the older child did the wrong thing to help then she would have to cope with awful guilt of this for the rest of her life about it. No matter how mature and responsible a child is there are too many problems that may arise that she has never experienced and may not be able to cope with. Also if the younger child acts up she will be far more likely to hit him as well out of frustration. If a person is not biologically or emotionally ready to be a parent then they should not be given such responsibility.

No, 10 is usually not mature enough to babysit, more like 12 years-old.

A 14 year old would be considered to have the ability to look after a 2 year old for a few hours. It would not be appropriate for overnight or a long period of time.

Can a 10 year old babysit her 2 year old brother for a short period of time?

It is really up to the parents, but the legal age is 13 to babysit in England. They need to be responsible and trustworthy. You cannot babysit someone elses child at the age of 10. I am 13 (14 in a few weeks) and I babysit for people that I know. Not sure about the USA. Hope this helps!
