you use it when you are going to mention something after a negative statement, but the negative statement is more true.
for example: He can't even look after a dog, let alone a child.

A useful synonym for "let alone + object" is "much less + object"; to follow on @fabby's comment:

"He can't even look after a dog, much less a child."
