gudi Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Hi, BBC London TV News are looking to speak to parents about what age it's appropriate to leave your children at home on their own. It's after the Met revealed they've arrested 126 people for neglect in the last year. Although legally - there is no minimum age - parents can be prosecuted if their kids are deemed at risk. What do you think and will you talk to us on camera today? Thanks. 0207 765 0920 Gudrun Lawyer Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/97948-leaving-children-at-home-alone/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelina Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I think there is a legal view - dependent on age and length of time left alone.Popping to the shops for five mins is very different to leaving a child home for a few hours.Also depends on their basic common sense.So, it's not as simple as age - there are other factors.
