Should it be illegal to leave a child home alone under 12 years old?Yeah, coming from a 12 year old, I would say that it's fine, my parents allow me and/or my brother and sister to stay at home alone, no problems caused. In my opinion, if there were any problems caused by a 12 year old, then the parents are most likely to blame.It seems to me like most people think that 12 year olds are the same as 6 year olds, and if the child is problematic in a way that would cause trouble if they are left alone, the parent/s should take this into account and ask a neighbour or friend or even just an older sibling to stay with them while they're out.Obviously there would need to be either some food or at the very least money for pizza or something like that but , apart from that, I don't see a problem with it.
