For mature children, I would say around 13 or 14 yrs old
14
Children can stay home alone for a few hours with access to an adult at the age of 12. Children below the age of 12 cannot stay home alone for any length of time.?
The duration of Home Alone is 1.7 hours.
Your child supposedly has to be at least 8-9 years of age to stay at home alone for about 2-4 hours. If your child is 11 or older, she/he can babysit other children.
13 is the legal age for a child to be left alone in the US
the age is 10 for 1 hour 11 for 4-6 hours 12 is 5-6 hours and 13 is at least 12 hours no overnight!
Yes. In Pennsylvania, there is no specific age. They only can if they feel safe. If the child doesn't feel safe alone, you can't let him.
Of course. Plenty of children stay home alone after school. Just be sure to tell them not to answer the door to strangers (or anybody)
Home alone and Baby's day out.

At what age can a child be left home alone?
Only two states have legislated a specific age to leave a child home alone, Illinois and Maryland. Generally speaking, the child must be safe, must feel safe, and know how to take care of themselves in an emergency. Most places believe that 12 or 13 is okay to leave home alone for a couple of hours during daylight hours.
