"Our Society received a
flurry of complaints concerning
unattended children in recent
weeks", noted Mrs. E. Ross,

"It is so seasy, under the beat
of circumstances, for a child to
endanger himself even when

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.

the ten' year old could be - or
should be - sound asleep and
could not be expected to assume
responsibility for younger sleep-,

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

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

complainant .but can only inform
,the parent that someone is con-

In most cases it is a friend,

the parent into trouble but yet
feels a warning of some kind

the parent needs some assistance

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

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. "Do you know with whom

children are",in your own home?
