The true or false statement, “it is illegal to leave your six year old child or younger unattended in a motor vehicle” is wrongly worded. It’s legal for a six year old to be left unattended, but illegal for a younger child to be left unattended. This statement is both true and false, so both answers are right and wrong. This needs to be fixed.
