I've seen even normally well behaved 9 year olds try to randomly do incredibly dangerous things on an impulse. You just DON'T leave children younger than 13 unattended unless they are soundly asleep in their bedrooms, and those bedrooms have been relatively child-proofed for safety. They don't have the brain development to reliably recognize danger often enough to overcome random impulses to safely leave unattended, even normally quiet and well behaved ones are just some odd internal thought-process distractions away from doing something incredibly dangerous for themselves or others. Sure, the exact circumstances that will lead to those impulses in that specific child might only happen to one in 1000 children over the course of their youthful lifetimes (note, I have not looked up any statistics here, so this could be wildly inaccurate), but nobody wants their children to be the one it happens to, and a lot more than 1000 children go through various places like schools and shopping malls every year who don't want that kind of liability of a child dying or being critically injured on their hands.I'd strongly suggest waiting till kids are at least 13 and have a half-decent education in physics, chemistry, biology, and general public safety stuff (like looking both ways and waiting for the light when crossing the street, wearing seat-belts in cars, wearing bicycle helmets when riding a bike, not sticking random stuff in electrical outlets, not sticking metal things in microwaves, etc.) before I'd allow them to be left unattended, and that is for the well behaved ones, the not so well behaved ones I'd probably wait till their legal adults and hold back on leaving the unattended if they have certain mental disabilities even past that.
