At What Age May A Child Be Left Home Alone?
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/wgBg2CkXW0o
A full 80% of child and family social workers would consider it parental neglect if a child under the age of 10 is left home alone. Most considered it criminal neglect if a child under 12 left alone becomes injured.
University of Iowa researchers report this conclusion after polling 485 pediatric social workers. They remind us that more than 40% of pediatric injury-driven deaths are due to lack of adult supervision
Given these standards, the “Home Alone” parents would likely face criminal charges for accidentally leaving little Kevin behind. He might even end up in a foster home if the relentless but inept home invaders actually harmed him.
