From the age of 13/14 I babysat for two families, both with 4 children in the evening, one family with my friend who was related to them. The parents of both sets of kids were responsible on their evenings out and never got too drunk, so that if anything did happen they would be able to return home and deal with the problem.

Never had any problems and it gives young people some responsibility (and a great insight into what it takes to be a parent!) and I think it is only a positive thing. In fact, I still feel too immature to look after children full time and some of my friends are on their second child now. I think it was a great thing for me to do and now I know that it's better to spend my youth getting educated and finding a career first and so on.
