[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If you leave a child 8 years or younger at home alone, and the school learns about it, DFCS will be contacted by school personnel in most states.[/quote] I know what the law is in Maryland, namely: Family Law §5–801. (a) A person who is charged with the care of a child under the age of 8 years may not allow the child to be locked or confined in a dwelling, building, enclosure, or motor vehicle while the person charged is absent and the dwelling, building, enclosure, or motor vehicle is out of the sight of the person charged unless the person charged provides a reliable person at least 13 years old to remain with the child to protect the child. What other states have laws, and what are those laws?[/quote] This is only part of the law. Another law applies to neglect in general, which applies wherever a child might be left unattended, like a park or street. [/quote]
