Re: children
I am unaware of any statute that sets forth a specific age. Different kids have different maturity levels. Different locations have different safety concerns, and the distance where an adult relative is located or some other responsible person differs. Additionally, the length of time that a child will be alone and which hours of the day also factor in.
