Never Home Alone


It's little wonder that Kevin's cinematic parents were worried: they faced a serious fine or even several years in jail for their forgetfullness. That's because it is illegal in America to leave children up to the age of about 11 alone in the house. In fact, you're not even allowed to leave them unattended in your car while you go into a shop.

As a result, you rarely hear many stories about kids dying of heatstroke in car parks or babies left for hours outside restaurants.

It's high time such legislation was introduced in Europe.
