It could be tricky trying to know if your child is mentally matured enough to be left home alone while you go on a business trip, to work or even a few blocks down the street. As a parent, It is left to you to judge your child based on his/her maturity and decide if your child could be left at home. A wrong judgment could put the child in serious risks and also result in you being legally prosecuted. So read these signs and avoid putting your child at any risk.
