The state of Louisiana does not have a law that states the age in which a child can be left home alone. However it is never recommended that a child under age 12 be left home alone for any period of time.
13 is the legal age for a child to be left alone in the US
A child under the age of 16 or 17 should not be left alone for several days. Some children at 16 shouldn't be left alone either and this should be determined by how responsible they are.
The child can get lost or hurt.
12!
From my understanding, a parent can leave their child or children home alone at any age, as long as they think they are mature enough to handle it. Basically, there is not a law in Ohio about leaving a child alone. However, in the instance that something was to happen while the child or children were alone, then something would be done legally.
A child should be left alone at 13, but leaving him/her alone if him/her is under 13 isn't against the law, infact, everyone does it. It's just listed as 13 because the safe-asses think it would be better at that age3 but to be totally honest, as long as your child is a responsible kid, you can leave him whenever age you find is comfortable!
It depends om your definition of "Child." My definition: "A child is from moment of conception through early adolescence." In this case, a child should never be left alone!
It really depends on the intelligence of your child, but most children don't get left alone until they are about 11 or 12.
There are no legal laws about the age a child may be left alone but a child who is left alone too young could leave the parent liable for negligence or child abuse. A general rule of thumb would be if the child can cook for him/herself or call emergency services.
well i think u have to be atleast 16 years old..but under that is illegal
It mostly depends on where you live, and how old the child is, because some places do not allow children at home under a certain age by themselves. However, in my personal opinion, children under 13 should not be left alone so a parent can go to the store while the child is sleeping.No.
