My parents left me home alone at age 10 because they went somewhere (I forgot) and I missed them very much after they left me for 2 days. :D
I am a tough girl you know...!! XD
14
13 is the legal age for a child to be left alone in the US
There is no legal minimum age for a child to be left alone in Alberta.
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.
I think it sould be mostly up to the parent but it should be when the child is mature enough to handle themselves and emergency situations. They should not be left home alone for too long the first time and go over the emergency procedures with your child.You may gradually increase the time alone if it is okay with the child. DO NOT LEAVE THE CHILD ALONE IF THEY DONT WANT TO BE LEFT HOME ALONE!!!!!
Very typical for preteens to be scared when they're left home alone.
In the state of Illinois, the legal age to stay home alone is age fourteen. Any parent that has a child under the age of fourteen who is left home alone will be charged with abandonment.
Twelve
A child could usually stay home at the age of 7, but an ethical and responsible person wouldn't leave their child home alone before the age of 12.
They can be left home at any time but the legal age is 12+.
Seven years of age.
