Maybe. There is no Minnesota state law that defines how old a child needs to be to be left alone, to take care of a younger child, etc. However, most counties have specific rules the law enforcement people follow if there is a problem. Ages 11-14 generally, depend on many circumstances, but law enforcement personnel usually will investigate "reports of children 10 through 13 alone for more than 12 hours". Ultimately, it is up to parents to deside and determine the risk for their child.

There is currently no laws outlining the minimum age a child can stay home alone overnight in Texas. It is left up to the parents to make that decision.
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.

No, you have to be around 15/16+ to stay at home with a younger sibling/relative.
In Arkansas, there is no specific legal age outlined for a child to stay alone overnight. It is ultimately up to the parents to determine if their child is responsible and mature enough to stay alone overnight. It is recommended that parents consider factors such as the child's age, maturity level, and their ability to handle emergencies before allowing them to stay alone overnight.
A child could usually stay home at the age of 7, but an ethical and responsible person wouldn't leave their child home alone before the age of 12.
dont ask Sandusky
you must be 12 to stay home alone
In Maryland, the minimum age of leaving a child home alone is 8 years. Depending on the maturity of the child, I'd say that a 12 year old can be left home alone for the daytime, but overnight, the child should be at least 15.
The Vikings are from Minnesota so they stay at their own homes.
Oh, dude, in Texas, there isn't a specific law that says teenagers can't stay home alone overnight. It's more about whether they can handle themselves responsibly and safely. So, like, as long as they're not throwing wild parties or setting the house on fire, they should be okay. But hey, maybe leave them some emergency numbers just in case they accidentally order a pizza with anchovies or something.
