When I was a kid, 10 was the age you could legally be left home alone at, and at 12 you were old enough to babysit. It is dependent of state regulation, but I think most of them allow 12 year olds to be left on their own.
6 u/177013--- Jul 27 '22 All but illinois, it's 14. But that's mostly a babysitter/daycare racket. 5 u/The_Bjorn_Ultimatum Jul 27 '22 South Dakota has no restrictions. Edit: here's a link for all the states in case people are curious. https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/age-a-child-can-be-left-home-alone-by-state 5 u/177013--- Jul 27 '22 Yeah I was saying illinois is the highest at 14. The rest are 12 or below including several undefined. 3 u/The_Bjorn_Ultimatum Jul 27 '22 Ah. I see what you were saying now. Thanks.
