There is no law about the age requirements. Parents have to take care of their children if they can't manage for themselves. It can be acceptable to have a chat at the door while your son of five is watching the Cartoons on TV, or to run a five-minute errand at the bakery while the twelve-year old daughter of the neighbour is watching the baby. It was normal for a child of eight to walk one mile to school thirty years ago, but walking alone a third of a mile is bordering on mistreament today, and no law has been passed or changed on that.
Should a problem arise, the judges will examine if you have been reasonable in your acts. If a child is not old enough to open the door, answer the phone or to have any sense of danger, keep an eye on him at any time.
