In California, there is no specific law regarding the minimum age at which a child can be left in charge of a younger sibling. However, it is generally advisable to consider the maturity and responsibility of the 11-year-old, as well as the duration and circumstances of the situation. Parents should assess whether the older child can safely supervise the younger one. It's also important to ensure that both children are comfortable and that the environment is safe.
yes
This answer is all up to the parents. If the partent feels that their child is responsible, then that parent can let them. There is no law stating that a child can babysit another child.
The court usually do not allow this unless it is a sibling and the parents are deceased or something.
old enough to care for that child
I am not a parent, but I think if the Fourteen year old is responsible enough, they should be able to look after their five year old sibling.
Yes! Most child agencies would say no, a ten year old is too young to have the responsibility to take care of a younger sibling. Most place believe that a 12 or 13 year old can be left in charge for an hour or two during the day.
Yes. Anything can happen.
I wouldn't recommend it because a 10 year old is not quite mature and ready to handle a child. And it is very unsafe.
In most cases, a sibling can pick up a child from school if they are at least 18 years old.
It is against Florida state law for an 11 year old to be left home alone with a sibling. A child must be 12 before they can stay home alone and 15 before the are permitted to babysit.
Yes, if they have parental permission. Otherwise the parents determine where the child lives.
