The document provides guidance on child supervision from the USAREUR Child Supervision Policy. It outlines the levels of supervision and independence allowed for children of different grade levels, including how long they can be home alone, babysit siblings, be unattended in vehicles or outside, and travel to and from school. It stresses that children should never be left alone overnight until high school grades, and that parents should consider any conditions that could impair judgement before granting more independence.
