    Child in car law
    Is there a law in Indiana that states at what age you can leave your child alone in the car?

    You should NEVER leave your child alone in the car. If its cold, they can die of hypothermia. If its too hot, they can dehydrate and die. Not to mention if someone happens to steal your car, they take your child with them.

    A teenager is one thing, but never a child.

    You should never leave your child alone in the car for more than a few minutes anyway...

    I don't know if there's a law, but I wouldn't leave a child in the car alone at all unless they were over 10, honestly.

    Can't argue or find fault with that answer!

    I wouldn't even leave a 10 year old alone in a car. Ever heard of child abduction?

    Yeah, that is dangerous, that's why I wouldn't leave a child in a car if I was out, I'm talking about if I ran into the garage or something at home haha.


    Either way, there are laws about child cruelty if it's hot or cold, saying you can't leave the child where it can be dangerous.

    I wonder why you would want to leave a child alone in a car anyway?

    There is no age, if they are a much older teen, perhaps, but any younger age can be held against the parent as neglect.
