ashcraftmegan answered Thursday September 2 2010, 10:34 am: By the state of Texas, where I live, you have to be at least 12 to stay home alone by yourself. To stay alone and take care of others at at least the age of 12, you must have a lot of experience, or wait until I'd say 14. [ ashcraftmegan's advice column | Ask ashcraftmegan A Question ]
