According the article it does not say it’s illegal, it says you have to make reasonable provisions for their supervision and safety if they’re unattended. That strongly implies that it is ok under certain circumstances to let children under 12 do things alone, else it would just say that it’s illegal to leave children under 12 unattended, period.

I think a lot of people would argue that watching the kids until they’re practically in the door of the bakery constitutes a reasonable provision of safety and supervision.

> you need to drive you kid to school until they are 14

As in you aren't even allowed to walk with them to school, you have to drive them in a car? Why's that?
