Not ordinarily, because the child becomes an adult at 18 and can make whatever decisions he or she wishes. There are some cases (notably legal incompetency) where the child does not gain free status as an adult, and would continue under the supervision of a parent or guardian.
i think that parents can legally stop there children from leaving home until the age of 18.

You will more than likely have Children's Services called on you and there will be an investigation. You could have your children removed from your home or you could be accused of child endangerment.
There is no legal age limit. There are only recommendations on the maturity of the child.
Unless you are the mother or father of this child, the easiest way would be to make a report with Child Protective Services, who would evaluate the mother's home, if your accusations are founded, and can make a recommendation for a change in custody to the court.
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.
No its not, leaving you're child at home is also child abuse. child abuse is like you're parent beating you up it is illegel
The theme of Linda Pastan's poem "To a Daughter Leaving Home" is the bittersweet experience of a parent watching their child grow up and leave home to forge their own path in the world. It explores the mixture of pride, nostalgia, and fear that comes with letting go of a loved one and acknowledging their independence.

YES ... but the child cant just pick up and move in with there Mother or the Mother just cant grab there child and take them home ... A judge has to give the order for the child to return to their Mothers care...
he should be able to simply take the child.
She was not employed outside of the home. As a child she helped her parents around home. After she married Joseph she was a housewife and mother.
When Mother Teresa was a child in Albania girls were not allowed to attend school. She was home schooled by her mother.
Still, barely enough information but I'll give it a try.... If by taking HER son home it meant leaving YOUR child alone in the house, then what she did was probably lawful. If she had taken her son (your step-son) and left your young child alone and un-supervised in the house, she would have been liable for 'Child Endangerment' (for knowingly leaving a child home alone). Kidnapping is a criminal offense and must be done with a CRIMINAL INTENT. If her INTENT was not criminal, then there was no crime.
That no matter what your child does or says, she/he will always have a home to go to.
Not without a custody award.
