They can a rest your parents
check with the police. You will still be legally responsible, if anything bad happens- either done by the child, or done because of your absence you can be charged
the social workers say they can until something bad happens then they fry you
No, because the police will think the child is abandoned.

No I was left alone at 10 with a 12 year old there is no law that you can't leave a child alone at home.
It should be reported to the police as a rape and the evidence preserved. It is a crime and should not go unreported. The girl should get counselling.
If a 16 year old breaks into your home. Call the police, have them take a report and depending on if you can prove that the 16 year old did it the police can take action.
Never.

It is against Florida state law for an 11 year old to be left home alone with a sibling. A child must be 12 before they can stay home alone and 15 before the are permitted to babysit.
The police will bring him home as a runaway. Until he reaches the age of majority, 18 in Michigan, a minor is expected to live where their parents want them to live.
Depends on maturity of the 14 year old. In most cities, it would be ok - since the teen knows how to phone for police or firemen and knows not to open the door for strangers. If the kids aren't going to invite their friends to have a party and you trust them to be alone, it's probably ok.
