Just over 200,000 children are arrested in the UK each year, according to Home Office statistics. The average age of the children arrested is between 10 and 17 years old. Children at this age will usually not be aware of their rights when arrested.
The law does not specify an age when a child can be left alone. Many parents could face prosecution for leaving their children home alone during the summer holidays, a children's charity has warned.The Children's Legal Centre is calling for clarification of existing law, which fails to specify at what age children can be left on their own. child of nine could be more mature than a child of 14. Each child has to be taken on their own individual merit.. He also says that if a child is left alone or with a sibling, parents should not be more than 15 minutes away, children should know how to get help and know what to do in the case of an emergency.
