How long can a child of 12 years old be left at home alone in the state of Maryland?
In Maryland, the minimum age of leaving a child home alone is 8 years. Depending on the maturity of the child, I'd say that a 12 year old can be left home alone for the daytime, but overnight, the child should be at least 15.
North Carolina does not have a specific law regulating the age at which a child can be left home alone. It is generally recommended that children under 12 should not be left alone for extended periods of time. It is important to consider the maturity and readiness of the individual child before making a decision.

Never.
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.
Most would say that ten is too young to stay home alone. When someone reaches the age of 12 authorities believe they could be left alone for a couple of hours during the day.
In Canada it is okay to have your twelve year old at home alone, no younger than that.
There are no laws in Colorado that specifically address the age that a child can be left home alone. 7 is usually considered much too young to be left alone, and it could lead to child endangerment charges. Most authorities agree that a 12 year old can be safely left at home alone for a few hours during the day time.
A seven year old child left home alone: SS would open file and do an investigation. The child would most likely be removed into a foster home until ss complete investigation.
Most laws say children should be supervised until age 12. Even then, the lack of maturity can lead to problems. Never leave a six year old home alone.
