Hi,
I am hoping someone will be able to clarify the legalities surrounding leaving a 7 and 10 (nearly 11) year old in a hotel room by themselves. The hotel itself is a small, family run hotel. The boys will be taken out to dinner, possibly taken to the pictures and then put to bed around 9/9.30. I would then put them to bed, leave them to get to sleep and go downstairs.
I have put it on this forum because I don't want this topic to become a discussion about the ethical or moral factors of leaving the children in a room by themselves;I am perfectly certain that they will be safe and capable of making the decision for myself. I'm only really interested in what the position, legally, might be should my ex-partner decide to have a problem with this.
Thanks in advance for any help.
