Can you leave your kids home alone?

Answer 1

Depends on the age. But I am a teen and being home alone all day makes me just want to break the rules and do whatever I want. Then when parents return home I turn everything off. I think it isn't a brilliant idea if your child is a video game addict like my brother. Spending time with your children makes them not want to break the rules as much.

Legal AgeThere are very few states in the U.S. with legal minimum ages for children home alone, but many state agencies have published guidelines. Illiniois, Maryland and Oregon are a few of the states with specific ages specified in their laws.

Below in Related Links is an article entitled Home Alone Children Legal Age Limits which provides one guideline from a California agency representative who suggests that 8 year olds and over can be left at home for up to several hours (usually after school before a parent gets home from work). This site also provides a state by state comparison with references.
