    I used to babysit my 9 year old brother overnight while mum was at work when I was 14. I would expect a 16 year old would be well and truly old enough to stay at home alone.

    I was staying overnight at home at that age and I'd have no problem with my 16yo staying home alone overnight either.

    What's her plan if she starts to get scared? Can a friend also stay?
