A child should be left alone at 13, but leaving him/her alone if him/her is under 13 isn't against the law, infact, everyone does it. It's just listed as 13 because the safe-asses think it would be better at that age3 but to be totally honest, as long as your child is a responsible kid, you can leave him whenever age you find is comfortable!

A child could usually stay home at the age of 7, but an ethical and responsible person wouldn't leave their child home alone before the age of 12.
At what age can a child be left home alone?
There is currently not a law that specifies the age a child has to be to stay home alone overnight. It is left up to the parents to decide if their child is mature enough to handle it.
It really depends on the intelligence of your child, but most children don't get left alone until they are about 11 or 12.
