i live in California i think and im 12 and i think that if a 12 year old stays with someone like a very young age your asking the 4 year olds parents can lost custody for the child even silbings under 18 can not take care of a someone 4 its against the law sorry
It depends; how old is the child?
A seven year old child left home alone: SS would open file and do an investigation. The child would most likely be removed into a foster home until ss complete investigation.
i think so
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.
In Maryland, the minimum age of leaving a child home alone is 8 years. Depending on the maturity of the child, I'd say that a 12 year old can be left home alone for the daytime, but overnight, the child should be at least 15.
12 California as the majority of states does not have established "home alone" laws. As difficult as it may be to understand the general criteria used when incidents are brought to the attention of investigators is; "Can this child take care of themselves?" and "Was the child left in a dangerous or unsuitable environment?" States that have "home alone" laws have made them so vague and difficult to enforce that the reality is, a child of any age can be left at home for any length of time and it is not against the law unless (until) the child is injured or worse.
Yes it's perfectly legal.
How long can a child of 12 years old be left at home alone in the state of Maryland?
There should be no problem. There are no laws regarding the age someone can be left and there is an adult in charge.
yes
There is no legal minimum age in California. So yes, it is legal.
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.
In Canada it is okay to have your twelve year old at home alone, no younger than that.
There are no laws in Colorado that specifically address the age that a child can be left home alone. 7 is usually considered much too young to be left alone, and it could lead to child endangerment charges. Most authorities agree that a 12 year old can be safely left at home alone for a few hours during the day time.
A nine year old is not considered old enough to be left alone. Most authorities say an 11 or 12 year old can be left alone for a few hours during the day.
A seven year old child left home alone: SS would open file and do an investigation. The child would most likely be removed into a foster home until ss complete investigation.
i think so
Well my mum left me alone to take care of my little brother when I was about 13 or 14
