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.

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.  :)

Mine was good for 30  years; maybe it's different for your son because he's underage??? \nYou didn't mention how old he was.  But Arizona Drivers' Licenses are good for a long while!

i don't know about in utah, but at 14 i worked at a daycare.  It usually has to be a place where you know the owner at that age and you will be paid under the counter in cash due to child-labor laws.  I would say try talking to friends' parents about different things they could have you do at places they work.

This varies by jurisdiction.  Mine has no age description.  Use common sense and knowledge of your child's own abilities-including stranger danger.\n\nIf they're of school age, call the school.  They will know.

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 started baby sitting at the age of 12.  I haven't heard of a certain legal  age in Texas.  \n\nI would think that a parent could leave a child alone depending on the maturity level of that child  ..starting around 10 or 11.  I didn't leave mine only to run up to the store and back because I just didn't feel that he would want to stay by herself,and would be lonely\n There are some 15 yr olds that shouldn't be left alone,,,lol.  (sorry guys...but you know who you are//the ones that get into the liquor cabinet.. make prank calls, look up things on the internet that they shouldn't, watch bad movies. etc.

Hi, I'm from Carolina, and I'm not sure if there is a law for that what you asked. I think common sense plays more a part than anything. I think it is safe when a child reaches 10-12 years old. Of course there are 10-12 year olds who are dependable, and some that are not, I think it depends on your kids. I know of a 12 year old who was in daycare because his mom couldn't trust him enough to stay at home and not burn down the house, or let strangers in while she worked. Generally around that age, they should be able to stay home by themselves until a first shift working parent(s) come home for the evening. Most of the time the child is only there for 2-3 hours alone before an adult get s there, which is not bad. As a child with both parents working, I remember staying there for an hour and a half until my mother got off work. We walked home from school, me,my brother and my little sister. My bro was the oldest at  10, I was 8 and lil' sis was 5 or 6. We were good kids and me and lil' sis listened to our bro. We would not answer the phone, go outside, cook anything, or watch t.v (until homework was done) no tv until homework was done. He would threaten to tell if we didn't listen to him, and we did since he was the oldest and in charge. I am 28 now, and I'm still alive and well. That is my point. It depends on your kids! My bro was responsible at 10 years old, so my folks knew they could trust him to watch over his baby sisters!

Wow.  Learn about periods, first of all.\n\nOkay, this is a stab in the dark because I don't know Arizona law, but I think it's a fairly educated stab in the dark.\n\nYou're not a blood relative.  CPS has jurisdiction over this kid but for whatever reason placed the child with you (are you a licensed foster parent?).  Since CPS has jurisdiction, and since you're not a blood relative, I would strongly suspect that you have no rights as to this child whatsoever, no matter what the biological mother wants.\n\nUltimately, CPS is responsible for this child while it is in state custody and that means they get to call the shots.  You certainly can hire an attorney to look into the matter; I'm just telling you what I strongly suspect will be the outcome.  Perhaps not the definitive answer, but I'd bet I'm pretty close to being on the money.

I'm pretty sure 12 and over.You can leave forever as soon as you turn 18.

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.

According to this website: http://www.saferoads.org/state/st_lawchart.htm#unattended\nArizona does not have an unattended child law like other states do. A search of the Arizona Criminal Code http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ArizonaRevisedStatutes.asp?Title=13 did not produce a related offense. This does not mean that the county or municipality where you live has not adopted a code of their own. You may try searching your county or city website for an unattended child law through their respective traffic or criminal codes. Ask one of your local police officers if they know of one. If they don't have one, petition your local government to adopt one. States that have the law usually classify it as a misdemeanor criminal offense. For example, Washington State has an unattended child law RCW 46.61.685 that says, that it is unlawful to leave a child under the age of sixteen in a vehicle in a public place unattended with the motor running. Laws pertaining to abandonment refer primarily to withholding the basic necessities of life and don't apply to your specific question. (For example: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9A.42.060 )

The parent needs to decide when it is comfortable for them.  Some parent can hire a sitter to care fo a child even before birth.  Others may feel best to wait until the child is 5 or more so the child can tell the parent if something inappropriate occur.  But I think the bottom line is the parent needs to do what is in that parents heart and feels to be right.

It's 16 I believe. That's pretty much nationwide. Due to child labor laws.
