Negde sam čuo da u Kanadi zima traje šest meseci,da osobe do 16.godina nemogu da izadju iz kuće sami...Da li je to istina?

The Child and Family Services Act does not identify an age when a child can be left alone, or an age at which a child can supervise or babysit other children. The Act recognizes that age alone is not a sufficient safeguard for the supervision of children.
The Act says that a person who has charge of a child less than 16 years of age cannot leave the child without making provision for his/her care or supervision that is reasonable under the circumstances. Anyone who contravenes this provision is guilty of a provincial offence and if convicted is liable to a fine of up to $1,000 and/or imprisonment of up to a year.
In addition, the Criminal Code of Canada includes the offence of abandoning a child. Everyone who unlawfully abandons or exposes a child who is under the age of 10 years, so that its life is or is likely to be endangered, or its health is or is likely to be permanently injured is guilty of an offence that carries a penalty of imprisonment of not more than two years.
Ukoliko se dete do 10 god ostavi bez nadzora i nesto se dogodi, staratelj krivicno odgovara.
Dete do 16 godina kada se ostavlja bez nadzora, ne sme doci u situaciju da bude fizicki ugrozeno (gladno, zedno i sl..).
Licno, vidjao sam klince od 10-tak godina da jurcaju sami po ulici...
Sve zavisi od toga kako sami roditelji procene.
