How do you make a child ward of the state?

To make a child a ward of the state, a court typically needs to be petitioned to terminate parental rights or deem the child dependent. This is usually done when the child's safety or well-being is at risk due to parental neglect, abuse, or inability to care for the child. The court will then place the child under the care and supervision of child welfare services or the foster care system.


How many pedophiles are arrested a year in the state of North Dakota?

There is no exact numbers as to how many people are arrested each year in any state for pedophilia, as pedophilia is not a crime. Child sexual abuse, however, is a crime. It is estimated that for every one child that comes forward to report sexual abuse, another 8 or 9 do not, and even knowing the number of those arrested for sexually abusing children is not an accurate number.

If your child custody paper state that the father of your child has to have written permission from you to take the child out of the state of Georgia what does mean if I deny him the permission to go?

If the custody agreement specifies that the father needs your written permission to take the child out of the state of Georgia, and you deny him permission, then legally he would not be able to take the child out of the state without facing potential consequences such as violating the custody agreement. It is important to follow the terms of the custody agreement in order to avoid any legal issues.

What is legally considered child abuse?

The legal definition of child abuse can be complex and is determined by state law. Many states have included forms of "emotional abuse" under their definitions of child abuse, so you can imagine how tricky that interpretation can be. Note also the difficulty state legislatures have had in respecting religious practices that rely on prayer or other alternatives to traditional medicine, particularly when the subject of the alternative approach is a sick child. For a more definitive answer to your question, find your state's statutes on the internet and do a search using the terms child abuse or neglect.
