i dont need to get into a debate about the age I have my son left with another person,all I wanted was not to generalise on someones age,Of course i wont have a 12/13 yr old watching him,but I wouldnt suppose that they would offer in the first place.
that is why I want to check their age with the prospective sitter witht heir own parents.
Im new to this board today,so please dont have a go at me.
And ive already checked witht he kind lady at the police station on the matter and there is no actual legal age you can leave your child with,if the person is responsible,then its ok,But however if something does happen to your child in the care of a minor(under 18),then it can be deemed ive negleged my duty as a parent to safeguard my child.
Ive hopefully given myself enough time to get a responsible person,as its after xmas I need them.Didnt just want to say a 16yr old if a person of 15/17 would be better suited.
thankyou.
