[quote=Anonymous]I don't know what state this is in, but if it is MD they are asking for an issue if something happens. This scenario would be a big flag for CPS. Under Maryland law, a child must be at least eight years old to be left alone in a house or car. State law also says a child must be at least 13 years old to baby-sit another child. Generally, it is left up to the parent to decide whether a child who is at least eight is mature enough to be home alone. Any time you leave your child alone, be sure the child knows what to do in case of an emergency. (cite: https://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/News/childsafety/childsafetyfaqs.html#:~:text=Under%20Maryland%20law%2C%20a%20child,to%20baby%2Dsit%20another%20child.&text=CPS%20may%20also%20become%20involved,care%20for%20him%20or%20her.)[/quote]
