[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are 3, 5 7. I see an overwhelming response of "no". I guess i am more laid back, since I don't think it is really a big deal, but have enough worry that I thought to put it out to the DCUM world. I just don't want to be judged by neighbors. [/quote] In Maryland this isn't legal. [/quote] PP is correct. Montgomery County, MD 311 - Answering to You. [b][i]Children under age 8 cannot be left home alone for any reason[/b]. Children age 8 or older can be left home alone for short periods of time, as long as a parent or other adult can be contacted. Short periods of time could be before or after school, not an entire day.[/i] I'm a mandatory reporter. If I was at a party and knew that a guest had done this, I would let them know the law and urge them to go home. If they decline, I would make sure they knew I was calling CPS's reporting line.[/quote]
