In most cases, a sibling can pick up a child from school if they are at least 18 years old.
There is no law, it is common myth.
Let say that the age of the older sibling is x, then the age of the younger child is (1/3)x or x/3. So we have,x/3 + x = 16 multiply both sides by 3x + 3x = 484x = 48 divide by 4 to both sidesx = 12 the age of the olderx/3 = 12/3 = 4 the age of the younger.Thus, the younger child is 4 years old.
A minor child has to be 13 years old to stay home alone or watch other minor children in the state of Maryland. This is one of the few states that has a dedicated age law.
I am not positve if a sibling can watch over another sibling when a parent is away. But I Know for a fact that if one of siblings is at least 12 the child stay home by themselves. So if one of the siblings is at least 12 i think tht sibling can watch over the other sibling while a parent is away.
The young school-age child places the most confidence in evaluation by his what?
In British Columbia, there is no specific legal age at which a sibling can babysit, but it is generally recommended that children be at least 12 years old to take on this responsibility. Parents should consider the maturity level of the older sibling, the age and needs of the younger child, and the duration of the babysitting. Ultimately, it is up to the parents to decide what is appropriate for their family.
As of 2014, a child under the age of 17 is required to remain in school. The child is not allowed to leave school with or without the permission of parents.
At what age can a child be left home alone?
Yes, until the child reaches the age of 18. However if your child continues school, you get child support until the age of 21 or until he/she is no longer enrolled and attending school.
They start school at the age of seven.
i think that an appropriate age for leaving your child to babysit is about the age of 13 and up. it mostly depends on the level of maturity and responsibilty. if your child is the right age but is neither mature in sence and responsible, dont let him/her babysit
They can express that choice to the court.
