Furthermore, according to my neighbour (he is a judge) the Children And Young Persons Act 1933, parents can be prosecuted for neglect if they leave a child alone "in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury to health", but there's nothing in the legislation more specific than that. No minimum age to leave a child unattended, and no minimum age at which older kids can look after younger ones either. His wife (a lawyer) said because the hotel was an unknown territory for the kids, then at least the 3 year old was very likely to "unnecessary suffer". Both agree that the parents are guilty under the UK Law.
