The answer is probably simpler than what you would probably like
to hear, i.e., there is no such law in the Commonwealth governing
this particular issue (as far as I am aware) for the simple reason that the law rrecognizes that every child is different and no one particular age set in "legal stone", so to speak, for every child could ever possibly determine.what might be the appropriate age for such a child to be left alone in such circumstances as you've described.
