There are very few states in the U.S. with legal minimum ages for children home alone, but many state agencies have published guidelines. Georgia, Illiniois, Maryland and Oregon are a few of the states with specific ages mentioned in their laws. 12 years of age appears to be the most common recommendation. Below in Related Links is an article entitled Home Alone Children Legal Age Limits which provides a state by state comparison with references. One guideline from a California child welfare representative suggests that 8 year olds and over can be left at home for a brief period of time (usually just after school).
There is no specific legal age in Florida, however, the Florida Department of Children and Families recommends that children be at least twelve and that you may wish to wait until 15. Here is a link to a pamphlet that they produce: http://www.dcf.state.fl.us/publications/fsp/trainingbulletin/july08_trainingbulletin.pdf The information that you want is on pages 8-9
There is no law in Florida that dictates how old a child must be to be left in a hotel room alone. The hotel itself may have a policy in place.
one or two hours is alright but no more than 2 hr.
16 because you would know the difference between right and wrong

In Florida, there is no specific legal age at which a child can stay alone at night. However, it is recommended that children under 12 should not be left alone at night. Parents should use their judgment based on the child's maturity and comfort level with being alone.
There is no law that specifies an age. However, the child must be safe, feel as if they are safe, and be able to get help if they need it. Probably 14 to 15 if they are trusted by their parents.
There is no law in Florida about being left alone. If the child feels safe and has the ability to take care of themselves, as well as handle any emergencies that might arise, they could be deemed to be okay. Most authorities don't feel that 13 is old enough to be left alone for the night.
Yes it's perfectly legal.
15
In Arkansas, there is no specific legal age outlined for a child to stay alone overnight. It is ultimately up to the parents to determine if their child is responsible and mature enough to stay alone overnight. It is recommended that parents consider factors such as the child's age, maturity level, and their ability to handle emergencies before allowing them to stay alone overnight.
16
I would have to guess here, but I believe the age is 13. I would check local laws, curfew restrictions, and the local police department. They would probably know the answer.
there is no set legeal age. parents decide on this.
no minor has to be at least 18
There is currently not a law that specifies the age a child has to be to stay home alone overnight. It is left up to the parents to decide if their child is mature enough to handle it.
Yes but it is heavily frowned upon. If you get caught, you may get fined or be forced to attend a parenting class
