女儿三岁半，有两个cousins,都是12岁。
他们带她从a家到b家，距离300米，但是要经过一个不大不小的马路，没有红绿灯，但是很多各种方向拐弯车（70速度的大路，和50那种街道的intersection)。女儿属于听话那种，但是激动开心起来，也会忘记嘱咐。这俩大孩子，很懂事，也是从小就和她玩，哄她，有安全意识。但是他俩毕竟还是孩子。哦，这个路程，他俩平时是自己走的。
在a家和b家，都有大人。

我是肯定不会的。
出了事情谁负责？

That's my point.
哎，a家有爷爷奶奶，b家有b的妈妈，我没想到，这段路是他们三个孩子自己走过去，走回来的。

太小，我觉得至少5-6岁。

这个问题每个state的答案都不一样，NSW和ACT的都是建议至少18岁以上，18岁以下如果有任何问题法律责任家长得承担。
为了孩子的安全还是请个保姆或者找朋友同事照看。

New South Wales
There is no specific law that states at what age you can leave children alone. But the law is clear about the responsibility of parents to look after their children:
Parents are expected to provide food, clothing, a place to live, safety and supervision. (Family Law Act 1975)
NSW Police or the NSW Department of Family and Community Services can remove children from situations where their safety is in serious danger and there is no guardian present. (Children and Young Persons (Care & Protection) Act 1998)
Parents can be charged with an offence if children are left in a dangerous situation, or are not fed, clothed or provided with accommodation. (Children and Young Persons (Care & Protection) Act 1998)
When a person under the age of 18 years – for example, an older brother, sister or teenage friend – cares for children, the question of negligence or liability could arise. As a parent, you might be held responsible for the carer as well as your own children if something goes wrong. A person who is still legally a child – that is, under 18 years – would not be judged against the standards of responsibility expected of adults.
Queensland
The Criminal Code (Section 364A) states:
A person who, having the lawful care or charge of a child under 12 years, leaves the child for an unreasonable time without making reasonable provision for the supervision and care of the child during that time commits a misdemeanour. Maximum penalty is three years imprisonment.
Whether the time is unreasonable depends on all the relevant circumstances.

成年人带都不放心，孩子还是不要

短时间在家里照看一会儿那接受，12 岁带着3岁孩子出门，觉得不是很安全。
不过既然已经发生了，就不用再纠结了，下次提醒家人不要这样做就好了

有点违反条文了

肯定不行啊，这还用问吗。
