How old can a child be to be home alone overnight in the state of West Virginia?
Well it does depend on the type of neighborhood you live in, do crimes happen often? are houses broken into near you? I think the proper age for staying home alone in West Virginia should be about 11 or 12 years old and old enough to handle an unexpected emergency. But never leave a child home alone during the night. There are very few states in the U.S. with legal minimum ages for children home alone, but many state agencies have published guidelines. Georgia, Illiniois, Maryland and Oregon are a few of the states with specific ages mentioned in their laws.
12 years of age appears to be the most common recommendation. Below in Related Links is an article entitled Home Alone Children Legal Age Limits state by state comparison with references.
One guideline from a California child welfare representative suggests that 8 year olds and over can be left at home for a brief amount of time(such as just after school). The most common statement is that a child's maturity should be the determining factor and not just age.

Do you need a tattoo license in Canada?
NO.
However, let's get this straight. There is no Canadian licensing body that licenses the tattoo artist or certifies him/her to be able to tattoo. There is a school in Toronto, but it is not accredited to my knowledge.
The tattoo artists' SHOP must be licensed. This process involves having Health Canada inspect the tattoo shop at least once a year to ensure that they are following Canada guidelines in health and safety (ensuring that the environment is clean, equipment is properly stored, used and sterilized where appropriate; ensure that the proper disinfectants are being used etc...
People are quickly mixing up "licensed studio" with a "tattoo license or certification" which are two completely different things.
Your shop has to be licensed, but the artist does not.
What is the law about children riding in the front passenger seat of a vehicle in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin law states children 3 and under must sit in a rear seat, if available; however, the state recommends children under 13 also sit in a rear seat.
According to a joint study by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and State Farm Insurance, motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death for children in the US. In Wisconsin, more than 2,000 children are killed or injured in traffic accidents each year.
Front seat passengers under the age of 13 are 40% more likely to be injured in an accident than those over 13. Front passenger-side airbags also increase the potential for injury to younger children. The study noted no additional risk for properly restrained 13- to 15-year-olds.
Wisconsin's child passenger safety laws are among the weakest in the nation, which has resulted in the state losing federal transportation incentive dollars. In an effort to improve their safety record, Wisconsin recently enacted a booster seat law with the following requirements:
Child Booster Seat Rules
Children must be in a car seat until they reach age 4 and in a booster seat until they reach age 8.
* Less than 1 year old, or less than 20 lbs. must be in a rear-facing child seat in the back seat (if so equipped). * Age 1 to age 4, or less than 40 lbs. must be in a forward-facing child seat in the back seat (if so equipped). * Age 4 to age 8, between 40-80 lbs., and no more than 4 ft. 9 ins. must be in a booster seat. Transportation rule 310 specifically exempts children who are incapable of being transported due to body size, medical condition or disabilities. These children may use regular seat belts.
The fine for failing to comply with this law is $75.00.

Who were the samaritans and what did the people of judah think of them?
The Samaritans were converts who were brought after the destruction of Jerusalem. The majority of the Hebrew population was taken off to Babylon as prisoners, but some Samaritan converts remained behind. They broke the laws of Moses by intermarrying with the local peoples and became, in a sense, "half-breeds". When the Jews returned from their exile they shunned these people. The half-breeds were not allowed to return to Judah or Jerusalem and so they settled in the region of Samaria from which they took their name. At the time of Jesus Samaritans were no longer considered Jews on any level though the Samaritans still held to some Jewish religious practices. The word "Samaritan" became a by-word to the Israelites and they hated them. The Jews use the name in a derogative way towards Jesus saying, "You Samaritan!"

What are the state laws for vehicle repossession in Maryland?
I have recently learned that the Department of Finance regulates collection agencies as well as finance companies. I was emphatically told that in a vehicle repossession, the towing company/repo company cannot, repeat, cannot charge a separate storage fee for your personal belongings. They belong to you. If you are told that they can charge for the goods, the goods, under the credit law means the good that can be repossessed under the loan which is the vehicle or the home, not the personal belongings. Call your local Consumer Protection agency to get help. I know this is the law in Maryland for a fact. It took me 30 days, but I am going to pick up my personal belongings tomorrow and I do not have to pay a storage fee for them. Tammy/
