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.
I do not know the laws in OK, but in my opinion your child should NEVER be left in a car unattended.
13 is the legal age for a child to be left alone in the US
A child could usually stay home at the age of 7, but an ethical and responsible person wouldn't leave their child home alone before the age of 12.
They Have To Be 12.
14
The state of Louisiana does not have a law that states the age in which a child can be left home alone. However it is never recommended that a child under age 12 be left home alone for any period of time.
There is no legal minimum age for a child to be left alone in Alberta.
At what age can a child be left home alone?
Twelve
There is currently not a law that specifies the age a child has to be to stay home alone overnight. It is left up to the parents to decide if their child is mature enough to handle it.
There are no legal laws about the age a child may be left alone but a child who is left alone too young could leave the parent liable for negligence or child abuse. A general rule of thumb would be if the child can cook for him/herself or call emergency services.
Seven years of age.
It really depends on the intelligence of your child, but most children don't get left alone until they are about 11 or 12.
