What is the legal age for children to stay home alone for a couple of weeks in Indiana?
"There is, to my knowledge, no specific law governing that," said Steuben County, Indiana Sheriff Rick Lewis. "I know some parents think it's OK to leavechildren who are 10 years old home alone. I feel strongly that a 10-year-old child is not old enough to be left unsupervised." There are very few states in the U.S. with legal minimum ages for children home alone, but many state agencies have published guidelines. Georgia, Illiniois, Maryland and Oregon are a few of the states with specific ages specified in their laws.
12 years of age appears to be the most common recommendation. Below in Related Links is an article entitled Home Alone Children Legal Age Limits which provides one guideline from a California agency representative who suggests that 8 year olds and over can be left at home for up to several hours (usually after school before a parent gets home from work). This site also provides a state by state comparison with references including a link to the citation above.
