Do you think I should leave my 13 year old son home alone tomorrow to watch his three younger siblings?

In the UK, it's legal to leave children home alone if they are 13 or over. At some point, you have to start giving him more responsibility too. Do you have someone who can keep a discrete eye on him. That way, if anything does go wrong, it can be dealt with by an adult. If nothing does, he gains some sense of responsibility.

@Daniela27: No family or friends or even a neighbour? I'm really sorry if that's the position.

Nope

@Daniela27: In that case, I guess it's even more important that your son starts becoming more responsible and helping out.
