Is it legal for a 12 year old to stay home with a 5 year old sibling and no adult supervision for 8-10 hours a day while the parents work?

It is not advisable. A ten year old is not able to handle emergency situations. It is preferable that the older sibling be 16 years old, but 13 might suffice.
There may also be legal requirements for supervision and child care in your area. Without knowing your area, it is impossible to advise on this.

∙ 16y agoIt depends on what State you live. In Canada 12 years of age is legal to look after children younger than yourself. However 8 - 10 hour days is a big weight on a 12 year old and you should think of getting an adult in to look after your children so your 12 year old can live the life of a 12 year oldinstead of being a built-in babysitter. If anything happens with the 12 year old or the young child(ren) then Child Welfare (that's what we call it in Canada) can investigate.

honestly i highly doubt it as the time celebrities have to do in a day 8 hours for sleep(give or take)=8 hours in total 2 hours for showers (give or take)=10 hours in total 10 hours for things to do (same) = 10 hours in total 2 hours of rest (give or take) = 22 hours in total 2 hours social time (same) = 23 hours hours in total BTW if celebrities do play m.m.o.r.p.g. games (like runescape) i think it would be ones that have better graphics and that :)

There is no age limit anywhere in the UK, but leaving a child "improperly cared for" is against the law. Really, it depends on what your parents think suitable! If you want to watch your sibling, ask if you can try doing it for a couple hours to see if you like it. Good luck!

Does court check your community hours if you had committed a small crime like a possession of a controlled substance for like 50 hours?
You don't get to affirm your own community service hours. Community serivce, in my experience is ALWAYS done under the supervision of some individual, or some organization, who then confirms to the court, via sworn paperwork, that you performed the required community service hours under their supervision.
