With an accompanying parent or legal guardian, there is no age requirement.\nTo go alone, you must be 18, unless the inmate you want to see is an immediate family member (a parent or sibling) , in which case you may visit alone at 16, with a notorized letter of consent from a parent or legal guardian

It depends on the state that you live in.  I have read that it varies from the age of 13-15.  But, if the courts are involved.. It's hard to say.  Because they are going to look at what's best for the child and if the child is capable of doing what's in his/ or her best interest.  :)

In Alabama and Florida the law says a child cannot stay alone until the age of 12.  A child cannot be alone with a younger child until the age of 14.  I would assume Georgia law is very similar.

Check with local probate court if there is such a legality.  If child is a very responsible person, might be okay, unless that child is babysitting babies.  You know your child better than anyone.  How long would parents be out?  Most children that age are too immature to be left alone.

The age of majority is 18. That's when you're considered a legal adult and you can make all your own decisions. In some cases a minor can be legally emancipated. You would want to contact a family lawyer in your local area to ask about this. Otherwise you can't leave home without parental permission until you are 18-years-old.

Monitor what they see on the internet until you feel they are old enough to be unsupervised.  Might be age 17  or 21 or 35.  Depends on your children.  Some children are very trustworthy and fairly mature and some are easily swayed by others.  \n\nDo not allow children to have their own computer in a private place.  It need to be in a public part of the house.  Like a livingroom, den or even the kitchen.  You dont have to sit next to them while they are on it... but they are not allowed to tab-out while on it (as when you walk by).\n\nAlso install blocks that are age appropriate.  \n\nAnd check the computer history of where they have been.

It probably depends on what state you in to some degree.  Hopefully, the father will be understanding and let the boy decide where he wants to live.  (In less than a year, he can move out - legally - anyway.)  And, if it ends up in court, the judge will surely listen to the boy's opinion - though may not rule that way.\n\nThe legal age of a "minor" is less that 18 years, in most states.\n\nIt seems to avoid a battle, it should be discussed with the father before the boy visits you with the intent to stay.  He has less than a year to live with his dad if he decides to leave at 18, legally -- could be worse (could be younger).\n\n\nPerhaps, you could call your local state attorney's office and ask.  They should be able to give you quick, free advice.

Whichever state you are in, age does not matter. If you want to move out on your own before age 18, you must go through an emancipation program and successfully complete the requirements etc. But if you do leave and you're a minor, when the police get a report that you've left without your parent's permission, you will be reported as a runaway and will possibly be sent to a juvenile detention center.

it depends upon state laws.  In California for instance the 22 year old can be prosecuted if the 17 year old is a girl, but not if the boy is 17.

legally when your 18. At that time you can enter into contracts legally, and your responsible for your own actions and mom and dad can finally kick you out of the house.

It depends on what state you are in. I live in Wisconsin and there is no set age. As long as it is a reasonable amount of time and as long as the child knows what to do in case of an emergency and has a list of important phone numbers.

It's 12 in New Mexico or 13 if there is another child. Check with your Family Services Department. They'll be able to tell you the law.

I always heard of a law(in my state)that the legal age to be left alone is 12.  The Red Cross allows kids to take the babysitting course when they are 12.

Not sure about legally....but I had my own apartment when I was 17...my mom cosigned the lease though...I would like to think that s/he is responsible enough to hang for a minute...I mean hell they are almost 18.

Probably 18 without parent and 16 with. Also if you are going to do this make sure you do some research on costs because some can be pretty expensive.

Illinois\nPreparing Children to Stay Alone (May 2001), by the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services (DCFS), has the following information about the legal age to be left home alone in Illinois:\n\nWhat is lack of supervision?\nIllinois law defines a neglected minor, in part, as "any minor under the age of 14 years whose parent or other person responsible for the minor's welfare leaves the minor without supervision for an unreasonable period of time without regard for the mental or physical health, safety or welfare of that minor."\nJuvenile Court Act, 705 ILCS 405/2-3(1)(d) \n\nHow long may a child be left alone?\nWhat is appropriate under certain circumstances may be considered child neglect in other circumstances. \n\nWhile recognizing that many factors may apply, Illinois law lists 15 specific factors to be considered when deciding whether a child has been left alone for an unreasonable period of time. \n\nThis information is available on the Web at http://www.state.il.us/dcfs/docs/alone.doc.
