It means that some kids that are bright but do not test well will indeed be left behind. My son fail the 3rd grade FCAT twice but was on the A/B honor roll all school year!
There is no law established in ME. The child must be safe, feel safe and know how to handle emergencies. Most authorities agree that a 12 or 13 year old can be left for an hour or so during the day.
I fear not.
Child Protective Services were established in all states in 1974. Their precursors include the Children's Bureau, which was established in 1912.
Yes, Juliet gets left behind.
Yes, but paternity must be established first.
I would call the police and the state child welfare agency. Answer Speak to your ex-wife directly and figure out the reason behind this decision. Is the 11-year old mature, responsible? Find out whay she trusted this child as a babysitter.Most states and provinces don't have laws stating how old a child should be to be left alone or when children can babysit. The convential wisdom is 12, but that varies from child to child. There are 10-year olds who are more emotionally mature then some 16 year olds.If you still feel uncomfortable with her answer contact your local child welfare agency so they can complete an investigation.
Yes. Anything can happen.
A seven year old child left home alone: SS would open file and do an investigation. The child would most likely be removed into a foster home until ss complete investigation.
because it did
it depends on the attitude of that 12 year-old child.. and it depends on that child if he/she is bored.. maybe leave them any gadgets that entertain them =)
Yes especialy the 7 year old.
