"It is so seasy, under the beat of circumstances, for a child to endanger himself even when parent is in the home, let alone when the child is left unsuper- vised," she said. If a parent has flagrantly failed to provide for supervision of his child under ten years While:- out of the home, fand the child In the parent's. akenCP be injured or even die, charges could be laid before the court. A parent would have to answer Whether the child had been left unattended for an unreasonable length of time and reasonable provision for the safety and sup- ervision of the child had been made. Some people presume that as long as there is a child ten years of age in the home, they have made adequate provision' for younger children's safety and s weilld be highly supervision. questionable U e ton year old were to bee ected to watch. several other children for a bang period of time. In all likelihood the ten' year old could be - or should be - sound asleep and could not be expected to assume responsibility for younger sleep-, ing children in the case, of a sudden emergency. ' "In some situations, we have found that a parent has left a severely retarded' adult or an aged senile grandparent to care for children for a whole day or longer", commented Mrs. Rem "If the Children's Aid Society is laviged -that-a childunden ten is being left unattended, we are obliged to visit the home and inform the parent that we have received such a complaint, and in turn make certain that the child is not in need of protection, we can not reveal the name of the complainant .but can only inform ,the parent that someone is con- cerned about his child's safety. In most cases it is a friend, relative or wan t neighbor who does not to get the parent into trouble but yet feels a warning of some kind is in order. In many situations, the parent needs some assistance in making provision for babysit- ting or other care. We are notic- ing, too, more complaints in- volving the working single parent who is separated or divorced, and who does not have close friends or relatives to whom he can turn for help with his children. While we admire the efforts of such a parent to continue working, there is still a responsibility to make adeqqaae provision for the care of his child. For these sft- uations, we are hopeful daycare centres or foster day care will Iie—edevelopeci -in -the-county -to. assist such parents. Television stations often in- sert a short flash message at the end of a show, "Do you know where your children are?" While the message was designed to question parental responsibility for children out of the home in the evening. , It could equally be asked by the parent out of his home.
