Well you can pretty much stay home as soon as you are born.
If you mean what age can you stay home alone, there are only two states that have passed any legislation about it.
The general rule is that the child must be safe, must feel safe and must know what to do if there is an emergency. Most authorities agree that a 12 year old can be left home alone safely for a few hours during the day.
In Illinois, there is no specific statutory age requirement to be left home alone. The state law only requires children under the age of 14 to be supervised by a responsible person. Parents are encouraged to assess the maturity level of their child before deciding whether it is safe for them to be left alone.
There is no legal age. It depends on if how responsible a child is.
