thate is no legal age it is down to how responsible you think your child is

Fuck I hope its Infant.... :/

9:52PM Wed, June 01 2011

Thanks Pamela. Have been told in QLD the law says age 14.

9:52PM Wed, June 01 2011

it was a recent debate on @thetodayshow

9:53PM Wed, June 01 2011

lmao. It can be tempting at times! ;)

9:53PM Wed, June 01 2011

@thetodayshow Yes I saw something on FB & that actually gave me confidence to throw "there are laws against it" at someone…

9:54PM Wed, June 01 2011

@thetodayshow So now I'm covering my tracks! Lol. I'll call the police infoline perhaps.

9:54PM Wed, June 01 2011

No comment on the Karratha question? Can't you ask your neighbours for me? Yanchep, Karratha… same same!?

9:58PM Wed, June 01 2011

I really don't think there is one...

9:59PM Wed, June 01 2011

Karratha? I heard its about infrastructure. The power grid cant support the extra power flowing back from solar generators.

10:01PM Wed, June 01 2011

My understanding is that there is no age. It's more an issue of risk of harm.

10:01PM Wed, June 01 2011

Hmm. Seems to be the consensus. Damn me believing a @larryemdur story! ;)

10:04PM Wed, June 01 2011

Lol. I wasn't expecting a legit response… was just having a dig! ;) But thanks. Sounds plausible.

10:06PM Wed, June 01 2011

Yes I may have got excited. Tricky stuff when kids from a divorce have parents with different ideas of how old is ok!

10:07PM Wed, June 01 2011

I'm 30 and still shouldn't be left home by myself ;-)

10:10PM Wed, June 01 2011

Hahaha Sorry. Im a smart guy but Twitter usually gets the horny, joker. ;)

10:12PM Wed, June 01 2011

Ha ha!! Yup. That supports a large portion of the argument!!

10:12PM Wed, June 01 2011

Lucky me! I got a flash of the smart guy when I was really digging for a laugh! ;)

10:14PM Wed, June 01 2011

Flash? Now who is being dirty? (Yay! Horny guy can't stay away too long)

10:16PM Wed, June 01 2011

Phew! Was gonna have to call Darwin General Hospital & ask them to send an ambulance for you!! ;))

10:17PM Wed, June 01 2011

@WA_Police I beleive the laws Aus wide are it depends on their maturity & how long they are to be left unsupervised.

10:21PM Wed, June 01 2011

Yup. Apparently in QLD it's 14. Ultimately if I'm wrong, I'll hear it anyway. Once he gets his "studying law" GF onto it!

10:25PM Wed, June 01 2011

13/14 is the approx age, but it depends how long left alone and how mature they are. Matt was always very mature for his age.

10:31PM Wed, June 01 2011

Well apparently my 8yo ISN'T as vague & dopey when he's not with me. Easy to say if he's home alone!

10:33PM Wed, June 01 2011

10:37PM Wed, June 01 2011

Yeah, believing him.. not the best idea :P

10:38PM Wed, June 01 2011

Is Mark making his 'quirky' comments again haha !! or the 8y/old trying to pull the wool over your eyes? ha !

10:41PM Wed, June 01 2011

Lol. Nope this is Tommys real Dad. Don't FB anything about him. Figure it's ok to shame my current partner, not my ex! ;))

10:46PM Wed, June 01 2011

LOL, sounded a bit too d&m for Mark's 'quirkiness' ;) Ex's, they're ever the parental experts.. File it under I for ignore lol

10:51PM Wed, June 01 2011

yeah it really does. Best bet would be to talk to child services to find out the guidelines

10:56PM Wed, June 01 2011

Yup I'll ignore it for now. But been bothering me for a while. No way in hell I'd leave Tom home alone. He's SO dopey! Lol

11:03PM Wed, June 01 2011

No legislative provisions provide an age at which a child is allowed to stay at home unsupervised by an adult.

@smiley_yas Parents are encouraged to consider factors such as age, maturity & any special needs in their decision.

3:19AM Fri, June 03 2011

ok. Thanks for the info. Looks like I owe someone an apology for accusing him of breaking a law that doesn't exist! Appreciated.
