How long can a child of 12 years old be left at home alone in the state of Maryland?
I think it sould be mostly up to the parent but it should be when the child is mature enough to handle themselves and emergency situations. They should not be left home alone for too long the first time and go over the emergency procedures with your child.You may gradually increase the time alone if it is okay with the child. DO NOT LEAVE THE CHILD ALONE IF THEY DONT WANT TO BE LEFT HOME ALONE!!!!!
well it depends on the maturity of the child, I am responsible and I first stayed home alone around 12 years old
they should be left alone because they might sting you
Small children should never be left home alone.

Well it depends. Some kids are more mature by a certain age but it's generally accepted that at age 14 you can stay home alone.

In Kentucky, there is no specific law that dictates the minimum age at which a child can be left home alone. However, the Kentucky Department for Community Based Services recommends that children under the age of 10 should not be left alone. It is ultimately up to the parents or guardians to assess their child's maturity and ability to handle being home alone safely.
In Maryland, there is no specific legal age at which a child can be left home alone. However, the Maryland Department of Human Services recommends that children under the age of 8 should not be left alone without adult supervision. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to ensure that the child is mature enough to be left alone safely. Parents should consider the individual child's maturity and the length of time they will be unattended.
