Where does it say those children were left alone? where are the stats for children being injured outside the home then?

Dognobs

Or maybe her kid is not as bad as she makes out! Only the parents knows if it is safe to leave their child. We all have feelings about ADHD.

even worse then if these accidents happen under supervision, imagine how high the figure would be if more children were left without supervision.

Your query found the following accident victims:

Where the accident happened: Road/Parking Area
Victim's age: 5-14

just to make it even, the same age query with changed where variable.

In all fairness these stats mean nothing, 90% of those stats could be down to age groups 5-6 for example and again meaning the 11 year old age group could be rather low.

Not to mention the fact they are nearly 10 - 12 years old.

Nice find though!

What are you talking about?

Who said anything about leaving an 11 year old child home alone all day?

Did you read the OP??

Yes i did and she was not stating she was going to be leaving an 11 year old child home alone all day everyday.

EDIT: She posted as she was going for an interview for a part time job 16 hours or less IIRC and she wanted advice on what benefits she could claim i.e. WTC and what the score would be with Housing Benefit as her hours would vary from week to week.

She mentioned leaving the 11 year old for a couple of hours or so a day maybe with the older siblings.

None of the posts were removed, except the OP who deleted hers because it was suggested that leaving an 11 yo child with ADHD home alone with his elder siblings who would be 'in and out'

I missed this earlier and i can assure you 9 posts were removed in total, I was online awaiting for a reply to one of my posts refreshing the page and every time i refreshed a couple of posts were removed each time bringing the thread from the top end of page 2 at the time back to just page 1.

As you can see it has grown again.

Saying that the fact the OP removed her OP does not help the thread much either.

There were a few posts regarding her having five children, claiming benefits bla bla bla etc. etc. etc. and i remember her saying all her children were fathered by the same man her husband IIRC and that he had left then leaving here to raise the children in later posts.

of course, yes they could all be in the lower age range. but they are indicative of more accidents happening in the home than anywhere else. a statistic that is also true of adults iirc. the home is a very dangerous place.

But no doubt you could alter the age ranges and have it show the opposite, hard to find the stats trust me i have looked and so have you otherwise you would not have found the above.
