They have that right in all the schools my kids went to.
kill the child
I am presuming that you're asking if one parent can relinquish her parental rights and basically give the child to another adult who is unrelated and not the child's other parent. The basic rule is that if one parent terminates her rights then the other parent has those rights unless the rights of that adult were previously terminated. I am sure that in any case the adult to whom the child was given must officially adopt the child by going through certain judicial proceedings.

If you are asking about a step-parent adoption the answer is yes, but you have to have the permission of the parent you are replacing thus they give up all rights to the child. It can be difficult but if it's in the best interest of the child the courts will allow it.
Notarized Power of Attorney
Consult an attorney.
Not if the other parent has joint custody and/or visitation rights.
No, as the parent no longer has jurisdiction over the child.
When a function is nested inside another function, the outer one is the parent, the inner is the child.
Whether you have custody of your own or someone elses child it's the biological parents that pay child support for their child. If they can not pay there is welfare.
No.
It is another term for the parent with whom the child does not reside.
