Maybe. There is no Minnesota state law that defines how old a child needs to be to be left alone, to take care of a younger child, etc. However, most counties have specific rules the law enforcement people follow if there is a problem. Ages 11-14 generally, depend on many circumstances, but law enforcement personnel usually will investigate "reports of children 10 through 13 alone for more than 12 hours". Ultimately, it is up to parents to deside and determine the risk for their child.

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.
you must be 12 to stay home alone

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.
you must be 13 years of age
The Vikings are from Minnesota so they stay at their own homes.
