like somebody else said get over it. 13 and 14 is perfectly fine. and who has ever heard of only staying home alone until your 16. i am 15 and i always stay home alone although i have to admit that not 12 hours even though i could handle it. calling CPS hahaha

it depends on how resonsible the kids are and what they feel comfortable. And as long as they know their rules and have a way to conatct parents or some other adult if needed. Most 13 and 14 yr olds can handle it

It depends on where they are being left, the maturity of the child. and if they are going to be by themselves or in a group.

it differs by state I think......you need to call someone to find out how old they have to be in your state.
