What is the age a child can be left on their own?
Answer:
Left at home or left to cope with life?If at home,you can leave him/her for the whole day after they are 8 years old.If in life - 18 years.
Legally? Depending where you live 18 - 21 years.
i think its 13 but to me thats too young
Down to common sense.
I'm not aware of any laws.
Usually in West & European countries its after 16 of age and in Asia its after 21 of age.
I'd rather you didn't.
13
The legal age is 12. But, it depends more on the maturity of the child than their age. My 16 year old son was mature enough at 11 and 12. My 9 year old son may never reach that level! You have to determine the maturiity of the child along with their age. Each child is different. Some can't be left alone even when they are so called grown up!
It depends on the laws in your state. If you want to be sure contact family services in your area
Well for them to move out of the house it should 18+ but if u just want them to stay at home alone you should let them when they are trust able
id say 14 seeing as that's the legal age you can babysit for others.
it depends on where you live in, in Nigeria you don't leave your child on their own until maybe they start working or they get married!
12, but each state can be different.
the leagal age is 12yrs but that is only if you think the child is mature enough and in the daytime, I'll pop out and leave my 12 yr old in the day for half hr while i pop to the shop but i would never leave him on a night out on his own
13 but it also has to go on how mature thet are amd how much you trust them
Yes, I'd imagine It would be between the age of 10 to 13. Depends on how mature the child is. some are more mature than others.
12
When you feel they would know what to do in an emergency - knowing not to let strangers in your home, usual common sence stuff.
Probably 15 but knowing teenagers they will say from the age of 13, coz when they are teenagers they are mature enough.
The 1st link is the answer to your question for England & Wales and the 2nd link is the main homepage - it covers most questions - it is the police national legal database
about six months
14, for short times. As long as they are mature enough.
Hi I found this website for you to have a look at, I do hope this helps you.
I would say between 13-14 but your children must be mature/responsible enought to be on his own.
I live in calforina, in here we have a Crewfew under 18 have to be home at 10 oclock.. my mom trust me when i was 14 , i always calll her and let her know when am i and what time will i be home.. I was always scared to be outside because the police will ask for age.. so its depend where u live and trust your kids
I think you need to judge by the childs maturity but I would not leave a child before the age of 12 or 13. But I know many parents of children that my kids go to school with are leaving kids at 9 and 10 which I think is wrong. If the house burns down or something terrible happens the parents can be arrested, so just keep this in mind.
In the state of Iowa US it is 13.
9-10, I reckon.
Depends on where you are. AFAIK, there is no minimum age in England but I personally wouldn't leave a child under 14 on their own.
If you mean when they are still young and live with their parents then 13, they can go to the mall or the movies with their friends they each should have each others back. They should be able to make their own decisions by what kinda haircut they want, what kinda clothes (not too expensive or revealing). Just make sure and know where they are going and have a a curfew for them. Just don't let them be too spoiled I know a teen that has a mom that lets her get everything she wants, everyday she goes to the mall! And one time her friends went over (in her bus) without her asking her parents if they can come and when her mom found out that they came and SHE had to take then home she got mad, because she had to drop what she was doing and leave drop them off, one of them lived very far. Then some of her friends just go into her house without knocking or ringing the doorbell, they just walk right in and start eating there food. Well just telling you to not let her get too spoiled or independent. Well hoped I helped! ♥
