Let's assume for a second that this is a rhetorical question. The only answer to this is never. The seriousness of this question warrants further investigation…. I don't mean that the cops will show up at your door, God knows, many a time in my history with my stepchildren, I wanted to employ the brand names of "Stanley" and "Western Forge" and with some boyfriends, "Smith and Wesson"! But in the crux of things, there was no legal recourse for me to employ such methods. So, on a couple of occasions, I invoked the law as my sword. The first inclination of a parent is to protect your child, even if it meant that you safeguarded them from the police. Many parents, Me included, thought from time to time, the best thing for a parent to do, is try to resolve problems that a child got into with out the need of a police officer. And while a broken window, or a scratch on the neighbor's car could usually be handled with out official intervention, there are times when the police can be your best friend. If your child starts or continue to violate a curfew imposed with good reason, then intervention of a legal manner could be a solution. Many states, counties and municipalities have "Incorrigible laws" in place to help families in such crises. The law encompasses many violations from runaways to abusive children. Further, there may be several other laws violated at the same time, and a child could be charged with multiple violations in conjunction with the incorrigible law. This, while it may strain a relationship with your child, you will have to determine if this is the best course of action. Once making this decision, you must stand by it and see it through. I personally drove my child to the police station and turned him in because he wouldn't conform to the rules set forth by his mother and me. This did put me in a precarious position with my other stepchildren, but they all seemed to fall in line with the rules, and actually the boy, after being released, later told me it was the best thing for him. Now, I am not saying this will work for everyone, but the fact remains that in the long run, while the child is our responsibility in that we ourselves could be find, jailed and even sued for their illegal activities, we have to draw a line.

It depends on the age of the child what kind of room would be appropriate for the child to sleep..play and be near the parent ( custodial or non-custodial) to monitor. If you don't have a adequate area for a child..why are you a parent.

If the parent is not available to take a child to the emergency room then whomever takes the child needs to present a note from the parent or the parent needs to be available by phone. If the situation is life-threatening (excessive bleeding, unconcious patient, etc.) the emergency room staff can consider the situation as implied consent.

Do parents have the right to search their child's room if the child is over 18?
If the "child" is still living in their parent's home - yes, they DO have access to his room - HOWEVER - depending upon the state, this right may not extend to the "child's" personal private property.
Can a parent be in the room while there child is getting a filling?
Yes, but it isn't recommended. It will depend on the dentist and the child. For kid's that really don't want to be there and that become very upset, having a parent in the room only makes it worse. The child will cry longer and harder waiting for the parent to comfort them and get them out of the chair. And parents have a hard time sitting there without saying something to a child that may be crying and it just confuses the child as to who they should be listening to. But, if you don't know the dentist and have any doubts at all, by all means, stay in the room. If you feel comfortable enough to let the dentist and assistant do their job, trust me, it always goes smoother when the child can't see or hear their mom or dad.

Can a parsi family adopt a parsi child?
Of course - not sure why this question arise in the first place. A caring parent needs a child and the child looks upon someone for support - the parent. Then where is there room for any doubt. As regards the religion of the child or the parent as long as they are of the same faith nothing can stop from adoption

If a child hit another child what can the parent do?
If you are the parent of the child that hit the other you need to teach your child to not hit. To do so, most of the time, time out works. Get a chair, put it in the corner of the room, and make them sit in the chair with nothing to do. make them sit there the number of years they are in minutes. EXAMPLE: if they are five, make them sit for five min. if you are the parent of the child that got hit, find the parent of the other child and tell them about it. Make your child that got hit feel better by comforting them.
Is it against the law to lock 2 year old children in a bedroom?
If it isn't, it should be. At the very least, it should constitute neglect, since, by definition, locking a child in their room, means that they are unsupervised by an adult. You cannot supervise anyone without being in the same room or having visual contact.
What happens to back child support when non custodial parent dies?
That's dependent on state law. Certainly a lien on the estate, but in Missouri, you can also put a lien on the estate of the grandparents. Correct, but what would happen if the individual had nothing in their name, no will, and no estate. that invidivudal was living with elderly parents who were providing room and board
