[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She really is too young for that much to be by herself without an adult. Children should be only 13-or 14 years old by law to be left alone for a long period of time. Just because it's a safe neighoborhood, you never know what could happen. She should be in an after care program for some of that time. [b]Again it's illegal for any child under the age of 13 to be alone for more than an hour a day[/b].
