The state of Indiana recognizes child abandonment only in regard to children 12 months of age or younger. However the state does recognize neglect as a form of child abandonment. According to Indiana law, neglect occurs when a child's mental or physical state is "impaired or seriously endangered" because of a parent's or guardian's "inability, refusal, or neglect" to provide the child with supervision, shelter, food, medical attention or education.
For children older than 12 months, it is the custodial parent's duty to file an immediate report with the Department of Child Services in Indiana or with a local law enforcement agency outlining the circumstances of neglect (in this case, child abandonment). From there, the case is investigated, pursued in court and based on the judge's findings, the parent who abandoned the child may have their parental rights involuntarily terminated. No specific period of time is indicated as to when this occurs but generally, anywhere from a period of 6 months to 1 year, if no extenuating circumstances apply are usually grounds for a finding of neglect via abandonment.
