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.
The legal age for all of the u.s.a is 13
12
What is the legal age in ohio to leave a child home alone overnight?

It depends on the child's age, but i think you can start leaving the alone at age 11.
15
no age you can do it any time but its not recommended
only if the child is 11 or older
yes?
There is currently not a law that specifies the age a child has to be to stay home alone overnight. It is left up to the parents to decide if their child is mature enough to handle it.
There are no legal laws about the age a child may be left alone but a child who is left alone too young could leave the parent liable for negligence or child abuse. A general rule of thumb would be if the child can cook for him/herself or call emergency services.
