It depends on state laws, and situations where the child may be unable to maintain responsibility (mental, physical, or behavioral disorders). Most states will base it off of the child's responsibility or safety. Basically, it's mostly defined by logic. Meaning, it would be very difficult to either defend or accuse someone of breaking this sort of law. However, there may be certain states that specify age limits. Hope this helped

I do not think there is a legal age. But know that as a parent you are responsible for that child until they turn 18. I personally would never leave a child alone that is under the age of 13.
