Question

Do not leave A child alone aged 1-11 Come on we live in America WHERE we have something called CHILD LAWS but the same state wont use children under our care as an exemption or excuse. For those who live in Beaver Cleaver days..yes were still out here. Wake up hoodie person.

Answer 1

the end of the Grim reaper is right..you are probably just looking for an excuse to get out of it..here is awayto get out of jury duty, go live in North Korea, or Cuba...no trial by jury there..it makes me laugh here we have troops putting their life on the line everyday, and most people cant even be bothered to spend one day on Jury duty, the only thing this country asks you to do besides pay taxes..this is what I say if you opt out of jury duty, then if you should ever need a trial by jusy it should be denied to you, if you dont have the time to hear you neighbors case why should they spend the tim elistening to yours

Answer 2

No. Your duty to serve on a jury is absolute, it is the only thing required of you to live in this country. (no one is forced to vote, and without a draft, the military is voluntary as well).

IF you have NEVER left your child, like they are a year old or younger and you have spent EVERY HOUR of EVERY DAY with them, then you can get your service postponed.

But at some point, you will be away from your child for some reason (and if you are not, you will be raising a really screwed up child - they need their time away too.)

So, you job of watching over & protecting yoru children is not something that has to be done hands on for their entire life. The older they get, the more it is just an excuse used to get out of jury duty.

Answer 3

Depends on the situation. If you're just manufacturing an excuse to get out of jury duty, no. If you are involved in some program that specially cares and protects OUR children where you cannot be replaced, then sure, of course it does. However, I am leaning toward the latter in your case....

Answer 4

In Texas, a person charged with primary caregiving of a child under 10 may claim exemption from jury service.

Answer 5

I think watching over and protecting children is very important. In fact one it should be a top priority.

However, as citizens we have a duty to perform that is the cost of living in our society.

Answer 6

Jury duty doesn't take priority over anything really. "If you gotta go, ya gotta go." But, when it comes to the kids, do whatever you can to do your best for them.

Answer 7

Try to get a babysitter before going to court. If you don't try, the judge may be able to jail you (unlikely he or she WILL, but better to show the court respect and TRY).
