Although Victorian law does not specify an exact age, there are provisions in the Children, Youth and Families Act 2005 about parental responsibility to a child and the expectation that parents make ‘reasonable’ decisions about a child’s safety.The Acts says:
It is an offence to leave a child without reasonable provision for their supervision and care.
The context has to be considered, including the age and maturity of the child.
As a parent, you are legally obligated to ensure that children are properly looked after. This means that food and clothing are provided, and that children have a safe place to live and are under parental supervision. When there is an older sibling who is under the age of 18 years caring for other children in the house, you are still held responsible for the safety of the children.
所以就是18岁以前,要有人照管 |
