It depends on the child and how mature and dependable they are. I believe that is the case here. My oldest son helped take care of his brother 8 years younger at 12 and 4. But he could be trusted, he was very sharp and mature for his age. The worst thing that happened is he would tease him more than I would approve of.

This is a typical situation which depends on the difference between actual and
perceived risk. Media has evolved to tweak our fears with the panic of the week which is forgotten in a week to make way for the next panic of the week. Media survives by monetizing the attention of their viewers through selling advertising to companies by promising a maximal number of viewing eyes. Creating a fear takes advantage of our desire to not miss information which might protect us and ours from harm. So we watch, the media sells adverts and the system rolls on. We are really bad at intuiting statistical risk. Media, casinos, state lotteries and insurance companies all take advantage of this. It is demonstrated in someone who is afraid of flying but happy to take their motorcycle to the airport on a busy freeway.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
