Leaving Child Home Alone
Since there is no actual "law" regarding this in CA... I am curious, how many people have left their child home alone and for what time duration? Or at what age to think it is ok for a child to be home alone, for 5 minutes, for 30 minutes etc? I have, on one occasion left my extremely mature and responsible son, who is almost 8, home alone while I went to pick up my younger one from school, so about 6 minutes total and we live on a cul-de-sac where we know all of our neighbors very well and they were all home at the time. Just curious...
