Home Alone

Often children are left at home alone for different reasons.  What is your perspective about this and at what age do you think it is appropriate?

  4. Maybe its because that their parents have some thing important to do.And I think the appropriate age for kids to be home alone is 9-16.I think this because some kids (not all) are responsible for their own good. That's why I choose age 9-16.

  5. I think you should be 11 and older because when you are 11 you known what you are not allow to do and not allow to do.Also because when you are eleven should have a phone so if something happen you can call your mom or dad.That is why you should be eleven and older.

    1. I agree because I'm 11 years old and I can still take care of me when I'm at my house by myself. I can feed myself staying at home and I can call my parent if something happens.

  6. I think you should be at least 11 years old to get left home alone,But if your left home alone for a long time and your parents are far away then,you shouldn't be left home alone.

  7. I think a kid should be between the ages of 9 and 13 to stay home alone. For example someone older than 13 will probably want to go to a friends house or sneak out without telling a parent. But most people under 9 will not know what to do and get injured or hurt.So people in between 9 and 13 will probably be old enough to stay alone.

  8. All kids are different, some are responsible and courteous and some are irresponsible. There is no age where a child is perfect and knows about dangers. But you probably shouldn't leave a seven year old home alone, no matter how responsible they are.

    3. I disagree because my little sister is 8 years old and she can't be home alone because she can't take care of her self.

  9. I think the age of a child when they are home alone is. When the child is responsible enough to be home I say this because what if the child goes outside when no one is home and they get board and run off. I think the age of a child is 10-15 but it depends on how responsible they are or if they are capable of flowing the rules when nobody is around.

  10. I think that children get left home alone because there parents/parent is working.Also, if they didn't want to go to the place there parent was going. I think you should be 9 years old and up to be left home alone. I think this because when your 9 that's when you start being more responsible and you have to start learning how to be home alone. But I think that you shouldn't be home alone for a long time like if its for half and hour or an whole hour that's fine but if its for 6 hours or more that's not good. I say that because you can start getting bored and you start getting hungry and then you might wanna cook some food and then you can start a fire. So that's why I think u should be 9 and up to be home alone but only for a long time.

  11. I think being left home alone is not a good thing at all. At any age you can be responsible and you can not be responsible. Another reason why I think you should not be left at home alone is because when you are home you do what you want to do instead of doing what the parent told you to do that's what I think of being left home alone.

  13. Kids are left alone at their house.I don't think that there is a age.I don't think there can be an age because it depends if you are responsible enough.If you turn on the stove and you say you know how to cook and when you return to the house and you have a fire. You are not responsible.

  14. My perspective is kids should not be left at home because what if you leave and your kid run outside in the street or they open the door for somebody you just don't know. The age I think should be home alone is the age 10-17 because it is a delicate age for me that is what I think.

  15. I think that the ages you should be home alone is 11 or above. The reason I say this is because once you turn about 11 you become more mature. For example most kids that are 11 and older have phones that they can contacts whoever they need to on or a house phone that they can use. Also 11 and older they can easily go to their neighbors house if they know them and if they live in a safe place. I also think that you should be responsible enough to know not to answer the door for somebody unless your parents call you and tell you to answer the door for somebody that was supposed to come over while they were gone. So that is what age I think that a child should be left alone and why.

  16. I think the age you should be home alone is 11 or 15. I think this because my mom left me home alone and I have to take care of my two sisters. I took good care of them when I was 10. When I was 11 I was home alone because my mom trusted me to take care of myself. Also, she trusted me because when I was 10 I took care of my two sisters. Sometimes children should not be left home alone because they go outside without permission. Also if they leave the house to go to play outside they're leaving the door open.

  17. I think the age that you should be left home alone is 11 or above. The reason I think that is because you have more of a brain, you know what to do when your in trouble. You're more mature you don't just open the door without looking at who's at the door. If anyone left a kid that was 10 years old I'm pretty sure their either bad parents, or they just think 10 years old is a good age for leaving there kid at their house all alone. I don't think that's a good idea. But if they left a baby home asleep that would be bad. The reason I think that is because they could get up and start crying. Which would be bad because than if they are left alone they could die. For example once I saw a video and it show a kid die because he was left alone in a car. People tried to save him because they saw him but it was to late. Once they got in the car he was still breathing but he died shortly after.

  18. I think that the ages you should be staying home alone is when you are about 13years old because you are mature enough to stay home by you,re self.The ages your not mature enough to be home alone is when you are 9 years old.Becuse you will think you can do what ever you want.And dirt the place or go to some one els house and open the door for a stranger.or party at the house whith out permission.Thats how I now what age you should be staying home alone.

  19. I think kids need to be 11 to be home alone. When I was 10 i was so afraid that some one got in to my house and I didn't know what to do I wasn't mature enough to be at home by my self. That's why I think you should be 11 to be home alone. Also kids should on be left home alone because the kids could of been sleeping and the kids would wake up from sleep and Think "we're are my parents".
