Is it ever okay to leave a child under the age of 5 at home by themselves?

I seen on Facebook this lady said she leaves her 3 year old home alone while she drives 5 mins to take her daughter to school. She said she’s gone for a total of 10 minutes and the child is sleeping so it’s okay. I’m wondering what other people’s opinions are! My opinion is that I don’t think it’s ever okay to leave a child that young home alone. Anything can happen.
