physical harm being caused to V by the unlawful act of such a person, anddeither D was the person whose act caused the death or serious physical harm or—iD was, or ought to have been, aware of the risk mentioned in paragraph (c),iiD failed to take such steps as he could reasonably have been expected to take to protect V from the risk, andiiithe act occurred in circumstances of the kind that D foresaw or ought to have foreseen.2The prosecution does not have to prove whether it is the first alternative in subsection (1)(d) or the second (sub-paragraphs (i) to (iii)) that applies.3If D was not the mother or father of V—aD may not be charged with an offence under this section if he was under the age of 16 at the time of the act that caused the death or serious physical harm;bfor the purposes of subsection (1)(d)(ii) D could not have been expected to take any such step as is referred to there before attaining that age.4For the purposes of this section—aa person is to be regarded as a “member” of a particular household, even if he does not live in that household, if he visits it so often and for such periods of time that it is reasonable to regard him as a member of it;bwhere V lived in different households at different times, “the same household as V” refers to the household in which V was living at the time of the act that caused the death or serious physical harm.5For the purposes of this section an “unlawful” act is one that—aconstitutes an offence, orbwould constitute an offence but for being the act of—ia person under the age of ten, oriia person entitled to
