Is dropping a 13-year-old off at the movies illegal?

The legality of leaving a 13-year-old at the movies depends on the laws of the jurisdiction in which the movie theater is located. In general, it is not illegal to drop a 13-year-old off at the movies as long as they are with a responsible adult or group of friends. However, some jurisdictions may have laws that set a minimum age for children who are allowed to attend movies without a guardian. It is important to check with local authorities to determine the laws in your area before leaving a 13-year-old at the movies. Additionally, some movie theaters may have age restrictions of their own, so it's important to check with the theater to make sure that the 13-year-old will be allowed to enter without a guardian.
