In addition, young children of below school age are technically exempt from the rule since they usually have little or no control over the magic they perform. "In the matter of Harry Potter, the law cleary states that magic can be used before Muggles in life-threatening situations." —Albus Dumbledore at Harry Potter's Disciplinary Hearing Paragraph C of the cause states that it is a crime to knowingly perform magic in a Muggle-inhabited area and in the presence of a Muggle. However, Clause 7 states that magic can be used in front of Muggles in exceptional circumstances, including situations when the life of the witch or wizard is threatened, or the lives of other witches, wizards and Muggles are threatened. Also, it seems that a certain high-authority person may give permission for an underage student to perform magic under circumstances.

In addition, young children below school age, or children who are not in possession of a wand, are mostly exempt from the rule since they usually have little or no control over the magic they perform. Overall, it appears the Ministry of Magic generally limits enforcement of the decree to situations where underage wizards perform magic in front of Muggles.
