Only two states have legislated a specific age to leave a child home alone, Illinois and Maryland.

Most places believe that 12 or 13 is okay to leave home alone for a couple of hours during daylight hours.

What is the legal age in ohio to leave a child home alone overnight?
about 17 or 18
If you are not in the states of Illinois or Maryland it is legally okay to leave a 10 year old home alone for two hours. Depending on the child - it is a case by case judgment call. But I would consider that acceptable.
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!!!!!
