It depends upon the situation, if the parents file a missing persons or runaway report, the police will begin looking for the minor. This is done due to the AMBER Alert law, and other laws that have been enacted in the past few years. Authorities have no way of knowing if the minor left of their own free will or has been taken forcibly. In cases where a minor has left on their own and the parents know where he or she is, they can petition the court for a requisition order to have the minor returned to their custody. This does not apply if a minor leaves the custodial parent's home to live with the non-custodial parent; in such a situation the non-custodial must notify the other parent and/or authorities that the minor child is with them.

The age at which a child can be left at home alone is only legislated in two states, Maryland and Illinois. The legal check is whether or not the child is safe and has the ability to take care of themselves.

Would you leave your 17 year old son home alone for a week?
Well it depends on the 17 year old really. Some teens are extremely untrustworthy (and of course you as a parent would know that) so leaving him at home alone for a week may not be a good idea (especially if you still want your house to be standing upright when you return)... However some teenage boys are the epitamy of common sense and responsibility. If you have any doubt in your mind in leaving your 17yr old home alone, then go with your instinct. Alternatively, if your son has a good friend that he could stay with for a week (whose parents will be home) then he could go to his friends house maybe?
