In California, there is no specific law regarding the minimum age at which a child can be left in charge of a younger sibling. However, it is generally advisable to consider the maturity and responsibility of the 11-year-old, as well as the duration and circumstances of the situation. Parents should assess whether the older child can safely supervise the younger one. It's also important to ensure that both children are comfortable and that the environment is safe.
