Not only this time (five minutes leave my children at home alone) She always cannot pick them up from school bus and let them stay on the street and wait for her (several times). Great loans (Finance Letter received with debts amount $3,860.00 - more than her salary $3,270.00).
Can I use this to fire her without one month's notice?
Please advise. Thanks.

Yes.獨留兒童(below 12)是犯法的.
My friend's maid left a 4 mths old baby boy at home.
Checked the labour dept., can fire immediately. Even no need to pay the annual leave.
Check carefully with labour department for the process.

agree!
獨留孩子在家中,可能觸犯以下香港法例﹕
「第212章侵害人身罪條例—第27條﹕對所看管兒童或少年人虐待或忽略」
法例指出,任何超過16歲而對不足該年歲的任何兒童或少年人負有管養、看管或照顧責任的人,如故意襲擊、虐待、忽略、拋棄或遺棄該兒童或少年人,或導致、促致該兒童或少年人受襲擊、虐待、忽略、拋棄或遺棄,其方式相當可能導致該兒童或少年人受到不必要的苦楚或健康損害(包括視力、聽覺的損害或喪失,肢體、身體器官的傷損殘缺,或精神錯亂),即屬犯可循公訴程序審訊的罪行。
獨留孩子在家中是否犯法,要視乎情況。法例指要「故意」(英文為Wilfully)忽略孩子,或令小朋友受到不必要的苦楚或損害,才構成罪行。他理解「Wilfully」為惡意,若父母僅準備短暫離家,迅速到便利店買點東西便回來照顧孩子,從沒想過令小朋友受傷害,便不算「惡意」忽略他,亦不構成罪行。但若用鎖鏈關上大門,出門4天,任由孩子在家中沒人照料,就有可能犯法。
視乎案情嚴重程度,循公訴程序定罪後,可處監禁10年﹔循簡易程序定罪後,可處監禁3年。
