NEVER!!
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.
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.
i think the age of 11 and upp but im not suree
There is currently no laws outlining the minimum age a child can stay home alone overnight in Texas. It is left up to the parents to make that decision.
I think it sould be mostly up to the parent but it should be when the child is mature enough to handle themselves and emergency situations. They should not be left home alone for too long the first time and go over the emergency procedures with your child.You may gradually increase the time alone if it is okay with the child. DO NOT LEAVE THE CHILD ALONE IF THEY DONT WANT TO BE LEFT HOME ALONE!!!!!
No, there are multiple laws prohibiting it. Also if you do this and your child is harmed in any way you can be charged with neglect and child abandonment.
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.
13 is the legal age for a child to be left alone in the US
There is no legal age
I don't think there is such a thing. That is, I don't think there's a law setting out a specific age at which you can leave a child alone overnight. (Well, the age of majority... 18... would be pretty much an upper bound.) In the absence of a law, it's left up to the discretion of the courts whether leaving a particular child alone constituted child endangerment or not.
In the state of Georgia, there is no specific law that dictates a minimum age for a child to be left alone overnight. However, it is generally recommended that children under the age of 14 should not be left home alone overnight. It is important to assess the maturity and responsibility of the individual teenager before making a decision.
12!
