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.

What is the legal age a child can stay at home in fl?

The age at which a child can be left at home alone is only legislated in two states, Maryland and Illinois. The legal check is whether or not the child is safe and has the ability to take care of themselves. Most authorities agree that leaving a 12 year old alone at home for an hour or two is acceptable, but they should not be responsible for other children.


Should a 11 year old child be home alone watching a 7 year old child?

HELL NO.Only two states have legislated a specific age to leave a child home alone, Illinois and Maryland. And while the answer above is pretty direct, it is pretty accurate. And 11 year old does not have the maturity to look after a 7 year old and keep them safe. 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.

Can a 9-year-old be left in the care of a 14-year-old while home alone?

This all depends on how mature the 14 year old is. If you know their parents find out how they do in school. Also another key part of this is does the 9 year know this person and do they like them. one more key aspect is does the 9 year old have any allergies or need to take any medication. In my opinion i would let my 14 year stay home alone with my 8 year old, but is this 14 year old your child or is the 9 year old your child?

Is it legal to leave a 9 year old home alone in al?

It is generally not legal to leave a 9 year old home alone in Alabama. Alabama does not have a specific law regarding the minimum age a child can be left home alone, but the state's child neglect laws could apply if a parent or caregiver leaves a young child unsupervised in a situation that could endanger their health or safety. It is recommended to use caution and consider the child's maturity level and ability to care for themselves before leaving them alone.
