Children of very young age cannot be left alone or unattended. French law states that parents are responsible for the care of their child ("ensuring their health and safety) until he is 15.

That doesn't mean that a mother cannot let a ten-year old alone for ten minutes while she is going to the bakery or running another short errand, or when he's back from the school while you are commuting home. That does mean that you have to assess what is reasonnable to expect if an unexpected event happens. Is your child able to prepare himself some food if he's hungry? Can he answer the phone? Does he know what to do in case of danger? Could he give directions to the police or the firemen by phone? Is he ready and confident that he could stay alone?

If these questions are answered by 'yes', the risk is lower.

In every court case, the defendant will have to prove he acted in good common sense.

The minimum working age is 16, but the normal age is 18. Between ages 16 to 18, especially between 16 to 17, the workday has to be shorter, and hiring has to be authorized by work inspectors, so very few businesses would hire people that young.
