This depends on where in the world you live ! 16 is considered old enough in Britain to leave home have a sexual relationship and get married.
None. A child that age should always be supervised.
it depends on the attitude of that 12 year-old child.. and it depends on that child if he/she is bored.. maybe leave them any gadgets that entertain them =)
What is the legal age in ohio to leave a child home alone overnight?
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.
Laws regarding leaving a child home alone vary by location, but in many places, there is no specific age at which a child can be left alone. Parents are expected to use their judgment based on the child's maturity and ability to handle emergencies. It is important to check local laws and guidelines to ensure compliance.
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.
no but you should stay with them if your not in public aka in your house but in the movies or resturaunt then leave them alone.
The state of Missouri actually has no law regulating the age at which a child can be left alone at home, so you could leave your six year old child at home to watch your five year old child, and it would still be technically legal.
If you are not in the states of Illinois or Maryland it is legally okay to leave a 10 year old home alone for two hours. Depending on the child - it is a case by case judgment call. But I would consider that acceptable.
no as long as that 11 year old is responsible
It depends on the amount of time they are left alone. If the child has all necesities then I would say, no, it is not abuse. A 17-year-old is no longer a child so it is not child abuse. They should be getting a job or going to higher education.
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.
