no! although you may think the 11 year old is responsible enough, they are not mature enough to know how to handle any situation that is able to happen while they are supervising the 6 yr old. get a babysitter, its better to be safe than sorry!
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.
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.
None. A child that age should always be supervised.
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.
no
How long can a child of 12 years old be left at home alone in the state of Maryland?

Yes especialy the 7 year old.
Only if that person is mature, responsible and experienced
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.
The state of Missouri actually has no law regulating the age at which a child can be left alone at home, so you could leave your six year old child at home to watch your five year old child, and it would still be technically legal.
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.
it depends on the attitude of that 12 year-old child.. and it depends on that child if he/she is bored.. maybe leave them any gadgets that entertain them =)
12!
In Canada it is okay to have your twelve year old at home alone, no younger than that.
It depends on the amount of time they are left alone. If the child has all necesities then I would say, no, it is not abuse. A 17-year-old is no longer a child so it is not child abuse. They should be getting a job or going to higher education.
No, because the police will think the child is abandoned.
