I am lucky here in Alaska it is suggested to not leave your child alone till they are 10 but it is ultimately left up to the parents to decide. The laws here only cover babysitting. It is against the law to babysit another child before age 12.

Thanks for reading and commenting @lanadancer. It should be up to the parents to decide. Every child is different and although some may reach a certain age they still might not be ready for certain independencies.
That babysitting law is interesting. I’m not sure if we have one such as that. I’ll have to check now. Thanks for sharing.
