有没有法律规定,孩子多大可以自己走路上学?

我儿子7岁半,喜欢自己走路上学,我又担心被告。不知道有没有法律规定。

等专家来解释。

我的理解,孩子几岁可以单独行动的问题没有硬性年龄规定,16岁以前都是大人的责任,不到16岁的孩子(minor)是不是可以单独行动完全依赖于父母判断是不是安全。我个人觉得10岁以前都太小。

When Is My Child Old Enough To Walk To School Alone?

There are no laws or official guidelines about all this. However, Chris Cloke, NSPCC Head of Child Protection Awareness, said: “In most situations children under eight shouldn’t be out on their own. Some 10-year-olds are old enough to look after themselves in situations such as walking to school alone. However, not all 10-years-olds are the same.”

So the answer to your question always has to be ‘it depends’ - on where you live, the type of roads and environment your son would be walking through and how sensible he is.

我小时候是7岁自己走路上学的,但是当时有住得近的同学每天一起走。那时候是在国内啦。在英国还是要再大一些吧。我记得那时我还自己走路去学画画,结果走丢了,还被好心人送回来。家长要是知道会后怕的。

我觉得7岁半太小了,如果孩子喜欢自己上学,最好你在后面跟着。我儿子学校是5年纪(9岁的时候),如果家长同意,孩子可以自己回家,自己上学,不过出校门的时候要跟老师报告,之前都不能把孩子自己留在学校,必须有家长在操场上等着一直到上学时间。

12岁吧

在倫敦,5年級可以home alone.
