The signs of circulation would be movement, breathing, healthy skin colour, healthy skin temperature.

There are lots of answers to the question - assuming you're not a healthcare provider....

Initially check on approach. What do they look like when you walk up to them? Moving or not?

Then (assuming we're talking about unconscious kids) open the airway & check for breathing. You'll assess circulation right there: is the skin warm to touch when you open the airway? Are they breathing?

If the answer to both of those is 'no' then you can assume they have no circulation. If they are breathing, you can safely assume they have a pulse.

How often do you give rescue breaths when an infant is not breathing but has a pulse?

You do not check for signs of circulation as a first aider, if they are not breathing then you perform 30 compresions at a rate of 100/minute followed by 2 rescue breaths regardless of whether they have signs of circulation (In a chilld you would also perform 5 rescue breaths before you start CPR). this is because even if they have circulation, if they're not breathing then they won't have circulation for long and CPR will do less harm than thinking there are signs of circulation when there aren't and not performing CPR.

Child Support ordered child tax credit to the non custodial father who has never written called or seen her in 8 years. Can he claim her on his taxes?

Generally, the custodial parent has the statutory right to claim the child as a dependent unless there is a court order specifying the non-custodial parent can claim the child. You should check with an attorney in your jurisdiction or an advocate at the family court. You should also review your child support order.Generally, the custodial parent has the statutory right to claim the child as a dependent unless there is a court order specifying the non-custodial parent can claim the child.
