at what age can a child be left alone in oklahoma
Rep. Mike Reynolds of Oklahoma City says the state shouldn't tell parents what to do. So far, in this case, it appears Reynolds is part of the minority. Other states already outlaw children under 12 years of age being left home alone. Twelve is the age limit many Oklahoma lawmakers say seems the most reasonable. It is also the standard age Oklahoma's Department of Human Services recommends to parents, depending on mental conditions and maturity level.
