    There is no legal age for a child to stay at home alone. I believe that it depends on the maturity level of a child, how safe your neighborhood is, and how will your child react in times of emergency. I am a very protective parent and the idea of my children being hurt or lost is something I could not fathom. That's why when I heard about SafeKidZone, I find it as a solution of my anxiety. It's a service I could use to track my kids to be sure they were always in safe places and there is also a panic button installed on my kids' cellphone that in just a press of it, it will simultaneously alert their trusted friends, selected neighbors and family members that they are in danger. If needed, the incident will be routed to the nearest 911 with complete information. I was so glad when I found out an article on a blog, it mentioned there about SafeKidZone. At the bottom it said I could follow the site anationofmoms and be entered for a drawing of 6 months free of the service. Not bad! Protect Your Family (*GIVEAWAY) ? A Nation of Moms

    Texas does not have a law regarding this. Read this, and use your best judgement. Stay safe!
