Make it a specific criminal offence to leave a child under five unsupervised

Petition Details

We are calling on the Government to bring in a new law that prohibits those responsible for a child under the age of five to leave them unsupervised.

Additional Information

We would like it to be a criminal offence to: "Leave a child aged under five alone without supervision, where the person responsible for the child's health and safety is unable to reasonably react to any circumstances that may expose said child to the risk of injury or death."
