10-15 minutes at max, depending on how mature he or she is or the type of neighborhood you live in.
There are no laws in most places about specific ages. But in most cases a 9 year old is not considered old enough to be left alone. The majority of those that look at the ages consider an 11 or 12 year old mature enough to leave alone for an hour or two during the day.
There are no laws that govern the specifics of when a child can be left in his/her own care and for how long, but a parent that behaves unreasonably could face consequences.
The child's parent should consider the total circumstances (maturity of the child, time of day, neighborhood, communication options for parent and child, parent's distance from the child, etc, etc) to determine whether the child would be safe.
you have to be 12 to stay home alone its the law
No that is a terrible idea. I am 13 and i have never been left on my own for more than 2 hours.
NO! How is a 9 year old supposed to deal with any problems that may arise?
Legalities aside, it seems to be asking for trouble. An average 10 year old is not capable of supervising a 7 year old and should not be put in that position.
maybe... if she or he is trust worthy.
Yes!? Why wouldn't it be?
What is the legal age in ohio to leave a child home alone overnight?
In the state of Alabama, can you leave a 9 year old and 16 year old alone. At early hours of 3:45 am , on a school day. And how late can they be left alone at pm time
Leaving your child alone for that long isn't illegal. It is the parents opinion to gauge weather your 14 year old kid can keep your 6 year old safe and sound for 3 days. Truthfully I wouldn't leave them alone. If anything happens to them there is a good possibility that you could be charged with endangerment of a minor in my view. But no. It is not illegal to leave your kids home alone.
They can be home alone for an hour it depends if he/she is mature enough and if your neiborhood is safe
Yes!? Why wouldn't it be?
I would say no.
yes there are people who leave there 12 year olds home alone for like 2 days

Yes you can leave the hyacinth bulb in the ground. Leave the leaves alone to gather food for next year.
No I was left alone at 10 with a 12 year old there is no law that you can't leave a child alone at home.
YES?? Legal or not, it does not make good sense, because a nine year old doesn't fully understand consequences.
Not legally, but it is possible... I'll just leave you at that.
