Answer

I'm a social worker in Kansas and this is the recommendation for leaving kids alone.
Age 12-14 up to 2 hours self care time daily 
Age 14-16 up to 4 hours self care time daily
Age 16+ up to 8 hours self care time daily

Answer

For an overnight I said 16. I just wouldn’t be comfortable with a younger child home alone all night. 
For a period of time in the day or early evening I’d say 12 is old enough to be home alone.

Answer

Here in TN the child must be at least 12 to legally be left alone at home without it being considered child endangerment. 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Omg I hit the wrong one. Not 8-11. Overnight would be 16 at least.

Answer

if I'm just going to the store, gone 30 mins- 1 hr, then 8-12 or 13
if me and my husband are gone for the evening, probably 13/14 and up. with one of our phones left at home just incase they need to get a hold of us, or grandparents ect.
