What is the legal age in Florida that one can be left home alone overnight, and for how long?

If it's age dependent I need the number for seventeen years old.

Please provide a reference link from a reputable site, thanks ^_^

According to the Department of Children and Families, Abuse Hotline, there is no specific age defined in Florida law regarding when a child can be left home alone. However, they have indicated that a child aged 8 or older who is mature and knows whom to contact in an emergency and is not disabled or mentally challenged can be left at home alone.
