Is it legal to leave a 10-year-old home alone?

Answer 1

well a 10 year old to me can be left alone if they feel comfortable enough to but if there not responsible probaly only a half hour

Answer 2

The law states you need to be 9 or older to stay home alone they changed the 14 year old rule last month.
most likely no because even though they are old enough to handle the situation they should wait till they are 13 years old

Answer 3

after what i have seen my 11 year old get into, NO.

Answer 4

there isn't a specified age.so if you trust them they can stay home

Answer 5

they can as long as they have something to get a hold of an adult they dont need to stay home the whole day

Answer 6

No You have to be at least 13 to be left alone at home or babysitting but most people need a babysitting license.

Answer 7

I would say a 10 year old could stay home alone if trusted by the parent/guardian but only for a maximum of around 3 or 4 hours since they are still children

Answer 8

A 10 year old can stay home alone for as long as 7 hours if they’re responsible and trusted by the parent/guardian
