No child age 10 is responsible ... some adults 50 years old are not responsible, either.
The parent who even gives this concept one second of thought ought not to be a parent in the first place.
YES as long as he or she knows how to dial 911 if there is an emergency. and you probably should make sure he or she does not throw any parties.

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!!!!!

Very typical for preteens to be scared when they're left home alone.
13 is the legal age for a child to be left alone in the US

According to Illinois law, a 17-year-old is considered a minor and may not be left home alone for an extended period without supervision. It's important to check specific local laws and guidelines to ensure compliance with regulations.
