You can leave responsible children alone for short periods of time, but not overnight. Children at the age of 12 can be left at home for short periods of time.
Some states have set a minimum age for which children can be left at home alone. Texas has not set a minimum age for leaving children at home, but it is best to consider the maturity and responsibility levels of an individual child before leaving them at home overnight.
The state of Texas does not have a minimum age law stating when a child is old enough to be left home alone. Leaving teenagers at home alone overnight, is not recommended.
12 is the normal legal age for being left alone, it is okay for a 13 year old to be alone overnight. Never mind the legalities, do you feel happy leaving him/her alone? I have 3 children (all now well over 13) and I would have left one of them, but not the other, they would have burned the house down.
In the state of Georgia, there is no specific law that dictates a minimum age for a child to be left alone overnight. However, it is generally recommended that children under the age of 14 should not be left home alone overnight. It is important to assess the maturity and responsibility of the individual teenager before making a decision.
no they carnt because i said so Hi There :)
The legal age is 14 for Illinois.
i know of a mother who lives in michigan who regularly leaves her children alone overnight when she goes out of town for her sales job. this happens ALL THE TIME . and the teen is home alone right now watching her barely 12 year old sister. the mother is unstable and has no discretion, the father is afraid to say anything-and quite frankly, I am afraid for their safety. what should I do? these kids have no safety net for an emergency number when the mother is out of town, what should be done?
Yes! If you feel comfortable doing it
That would depend on the child's ability to care for himself or herself, it's just the same as leaving any other child alone for the night, if he or she in intelligent enough to care for him or herself then it's fine. I wouldn't recommend leaving a child at a young age alone for the night though no matter whether they did or didn't have the condition.
What is the legal age in ohio to leave a child home alone overnight?
