In Michigan, there are no specific laws that set a minimum age for leaving children home alone. However, it is generally recommended that children under the age of 12 should not be left alone for extended periods. An 11-year-old may be responsible enough to care for a 9-year-old and a 3-year-old, but it ultimately depends on the maturity of the 11-year-old and the duration of time they will be alone. Parents should consider the children's needs, safety, and the situation before making a decision.
