There is no law established in ME. The child must be safe, feel safe and know how to handle emergencies. Most authorities agree that a 12 or 13 year old can be left for an hour or so during the day.

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.
