Parents should plan after-school snacks for the child that does not require cooking to prevent burns. Lighting candles could be a fire hazard if they are left unattended.
Wearing the house key around the neck could indicate that the child will be home alone. Telling people at school about being home alone could encourage a break in or other action against the child.
