Would you pass a law/legislation for children to be a required age to stay home alone?

The state of Ohio only recommends children to be the age of 12 years of age to be home alone or 8 years old, but for only a very little amount of time. Would you make this an actual law?



Things to consider:

-How can we enforce it?

-What are the pro's?

-What are the con's

-Is it worth making a law?Would you pass a law/legislation for children to be a required age to stay home alone?Something like that should be left to each parent as each child is different and the parents would know their limitations best.Would you pass a law/legislation for children to be a required age to stay home alone?
I'll have to check what the latest polls say.Would you pass a law/legislation for children to be a required age to stay home alone?no, this really depends on how mature and responsible the child is, not the ageWould you pass a law/legislation for children to be a required age to stay home alone?
Here in the UK it is 14. I think that is ok.Would you pass a law/legislation for children to be a required age to stay home alone?enforcement- snitches, when something happens to the child and police are called well then it's to late etc

pros- we can fine the parents just what we need more taxes ya

Cons- parents work there are a lot of key latch kids around so parents and kids can starve and parents can stay home

not enforceable but good intentionedWould you pass a law/legislation for children to be a required age to stay home alone?
No I would never make this a law. It infringes upon people's liberties and freedom, too much government regulation is a bad thing.



Also, it would be terrible to enforce and require an even more ridiculous amount of money from the tax payer's pocket.



While home alone children are not in a direct state of danger therefore it is not the government's job to intervene.
