Best Answer

You must be about 12 years old and older. if your a parent asking this make sure the home is safe.

Answer

There is no legal minimum age for a child to be left at home alone. The appropriate age depends on the child, the length of the stay, the home itself, and the neighborhood.

Leaving a too young child at home is dangerous, and could result in a parent losing custodial rights to their children or in criminal action. Not to mention, it could lead to injury or death to the child.
