Leaving your child home alone  |
|
 I posted a discussion on what u would do if u saw a child left alone in a car while the parents was shopping, one person left a comment then said when there child was young that is was cold out and she left her at home alone to go by water and diapers for the baby, would u do this and is it just as wrong as leaving the young child home alone? I think it is just as bad because anything can happen to a yound child with no one there to watch them..

1.  maya_n_bennett (3679) | 4 years ago |  I agree with you. I wouldnt leave the baby alone in the house. I grew up in Japan until I was 12 years old. At age 4, I stay home while my mom went to grocery shopping. She was able to do it because our neighbors kept eyes on me. It is still pretty safe to leave children when they are old enough at home in Japan.

2.  sedel1027 (12408) | 4 years ago |  We just started to leave my son who is 7 home. Not for long, only 10 - 15 minutes when my fiance brings me to work or I go pick him up from work. We would not leave him home for any longer. If you need to run an errand when it is cold out and you child is young, you should wait until someone can stay with your child. Really young children get into trouble out of curiosity too often to be left at home.

| sedel1027 (12408) | 4 years ago | We just started this at the beginning of the school year. We laid out rules and he knows that if we find out that he broke one that he won't be allowed to stay home. Usually he just gets on the computer and plays video games until we get home. I think he likes the quiet time. | |

| 3. tickedoff (465) | 4 years ago |  did you know that it is a law, that children cannot stay at home by themselves until they are 12 years of age? any younger and the state can take your children away from you.

| DeenaD (2184) | 4 years ago |  Really? I did not know this. My oldest daughter began staying home alone sometimes when she was 11. What about when children get home from school and have to let themselves in because their parents are still at work?

| tickedoff (465) | 4 years ago | yes it is national law, but only if somebody calls the police or child services on you. so be careful and DON'T piss people off. adn the time frame for 10 to 12 years of age is about 15 min. at the age of 12 they can stay alone for about 2 or 4 hours I think. and at 13 it's about 6 hours. | |
