MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. -- The 5th Medical Group Family Advocacy office reminds parents and care providers of the age and circumstance guidelines in deciding when children are left alone. The age of the child is not the only factor that should be considered when children are left alone. Other factors include the maturity of the child, emotional health factors, the child's physical or cognitive limitations.

Finally, the ultimate responsibility for the safety, care, well being and behavior of dependent children remains with the parent or caregiver, whether they are present to personally supervise them or not.
