Is it legal to leave children at Knotts without an adult?

Question

We were thinking of dropping off our children with a friend at Knotts and were wondering if it is legal to leave them there without adult supervision? They are aged 13 - 14. Thanks.

Answer 1

there are two things you need to find out. the parks rules and the city/county rules.

The park might have a minimum age a guest has to be to be left unattended. so they may or may not be allowed in the park based on that. best thing to do about this, contact the park directly. usually they would also take the city/county rules into consideration and you should be fine if you follow their rules.

your county/city could have rules that might classify leaving your kids without supervision child neglect or endangerment depending on the laws. again, check with the park and that will usually give you your best bet as far as legalities are concerned.

well i'm fourteeen.

and im sure it is but it also depends on what others said about the park rules alot of teenagers go around by themselves.

just make sure theres an exact pick up and drop off time.

&that if she/he goes that they're in a large group.

-so they don't get lost.

but it helps to know if they're responsible to take care of each other.

i gained my moms trust& now i'm hanging out my guyfriends monday at disneyland, i'm sure they'll be fine.

No just completely stupid.... I'll look for your child on the 10 clock news!  They are too young- an adult should at least be in the park somewhere for time checks.  Seriously, I watch America's Most wanted and I can't tell you how many teenager end up dead in a ditch because their parents dropped them off somewhere.

Answer 4
