It's a BIG and controversial question for concerned and caring moms and dads. At what age and under what circumstances is it okay to leave your teen home alone overnight? Check out this CNN Living story by Kelly Wallace for which I was interviewed to find out what other moms and I think about this topic. You'll be surprised at how varied our opinions are.

Through personal experience as a mother of four teenagers myself I can vouch for this: everyone with a teen living at home is going to be confronted with this discussion sooner or later.
