No.
#2: Depends on the maturity of the 12 year old, and for how long they are all left alone.
#3: That's taking quite a risk, regardless of how mature the 12-y.o.is. If something goes wrong, even if the kid wasn't at fault, the parent will have to convince a jury that it was a good idea to leave a kid in charge. #4: Since this appears to not be a hypothetical question...This situation needs to be reported to local children's services in order for them to investigate the circumstances and protect the kids. Any situation that forces a 12-y.o. to cook without adult supervision is, by itself, a danger.
It depends on a few things. First of all it depends on where you live because in some places it would be illegal. If thats not the case then it also depends on the 12 year old. Is he or she mature enough to take care of other children? Also what time of day it is and how long you plan to leave them at home for. It would probs be safer in the day. And the age of the other children...i wouldnt leave a 12 year old to look after a little baby for example...hope this helpped ;)
Depends how long you leave them.
If it's for a short time then no problem, leaving them overnight is a diffent thing entirely.

A minor child has to be 13 years old to stay home alone or watch other minor children in the state of Maryland. This is one of the few states that has a dedicated age law.
A child must be at least 12 years old to stay home alone in Delaware. At this age, they can also babysit other children and siblings.

Your child supposedly has to be at least 8-9 years of age to stay at home alone for about 2-4 hours. If your child is 11 or older, she/he can babysit other children.

Children can stay home alone for a few hours with access to an adult at the age of 12. Children below the age of 12 cannot stay home alone for any length of time.?
Home alone and Baby's day out.

You do not have to have a license to watch 3 children. But it does make things better if you have a license.
I would say 3
