Is it illegal in WA state to leave a child in a car unattended?

It is not illegal to leave a child in a car in Washington unless the car is left running. However I would never leave my young child in a car. I would leave a teenager alone in a car, they hate to be seen with mom or dad anyway. :-) My daughter called the police one day because a young child was left in the car and the poor thing was upset and crying. The police told her there was nothing he could do because the child was not in danger. The mother eventually showed up and demanded to know what was going on, the policeman explained the concern. The mother was so angry, she waited until the officer's back was turn and she flipped off my daughter. Hopefully the incident made her stop and think.

What is the legal age to leave home in Kentucky?

Don't leave young kids alone in Kentucky. A child should not be left home alone in Kentucky until they are 11 years of age. There is no law per se, but I work in the child welfare arena and if your child is younger than this and being left alone child protective services will take a report and investigate a child left alone younger than 11. There still may be a report if a child is older than 11 and they are left for long periods of time. It's also not a good idea to let children younger than 13 babysit for younger children. I work for Child Protective Services in Louisville KY, and we investigate cases of children under the age of eight when they are left alone. Children above that age can be left alone for a couple of hours and we look at the maturity level of the children up to 12 years of age. There is no law in KY that addresses this issue.
