It is illegal to leave a child home alone that is under the age of about 12 years of age. I would say around 12+ would be an appropriate age.

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.

Is it illegal to leave minors home alone?
Answer Yes it is illegal to leave children under 12 home alone It is not completely correct to make a blanket statement that it is illegal to leave children under 12 home alone, because each state has the right to make its own laws governing this subject and the ages may vary from state to state. Stating flatly that it is illegal to leave a child under 12 alone is also misleading in that it implies that children over 12 may legally be left home alone. Again individual state laws need to be checked. Further, age is not the sole factor to consider. If a child has a mental or physical handicap, it may be unsafe to leave the child home alone at any age, because this might be placing the child in a potentially dangerous situation.
