Children and the Law

Alyson Stoner, was born in Toledo, Ohio on August 11, 1993. Her father is Charlie Stoner and her mother is LuAnne Adams Hodges.

All children should be placed in the back seat until 12 yrs of age. If they are sitting up front the air bag has to be turned off.

why you asking me im trying to find out my self looool

File for contempt of court on the child support, but there's nothing that can be done about him not seeing the child as that could open a can of worms incurring the anger of feminists. If you started doing that they would have to start charging mothers for violating the father's court ordered visitation rights, which 60% of fathers are denied access according to the US Dept. of Health & Human Services study, "Survey of Absentee Parents" over 60% of mothers regularly violate the access rights of fathers. They will cut off all contact between the children and their fathers within five years. Unlike child support, mothers are not jailed, even with multiple Contempt of Court ruling against them for violating the fathers' court ordered visitation rights.

Can you imagine arresting 60% of custodial mothers?

There is nothing wrong with it. If you two decide to go a little further i would strongly recommend birth control. Thirteen is a little young to get pregnant. Im 17 and pregnaant. The father is with me and we are going to get married. He also helped me get thru school so im also a high school graduate, but at thirteen you have too much to look forward to.

Define the circumstances. Is the minor in full custodial arrest and detention at a facility somewhere (police station-juve facility-etc) -OR - is he simply stopped on the street and asked preliminary questions about the event, which then ultimately led to his arrest?

Maybe the right grammar there is 'at the beginning of summer'. Unless you are using a sentence with the phrase 'at the beginning of the summer vacation', that's when you're supposed to use 'the' before the word 'summer'.

What is the time line for child abandonment for a non custodial parent? My husband was given temporary full custody of a three year old and five year old in December 2008. The mother was only allowed to have supervised visitation. She maintained off and on contact until May 2009. She has not called or made any attempt to contact the girls since May. How long do we have to wait to file abandonment?

There is no law in Florida about being left alone. If the child feels safe and has the ability to take care of themselves, as well as handle any emergencies that might arise, they could be deemed to be okay. Most authorities don't feel that 13 is old enough to be left alone for the night.

be sure that you are CPR and first aid certified. be sure to know if the kids have special needs like medical conditions and allergies. there are websites that specially give services to this kind of issues-about childcare licensing and accreditation. they have a library of articles that can be very helpful to daycare givers/teachers,owners and supervisors.click the related link below

yes, it the judge orders it.. foster care does not exempt you.

A child has the right to a safe and healthy environment. If the child feels as though he's the victim of emotional abuse, he needs to report it to someone, like a school counselor or close adult relative or resource. That person can then act as a advocate for the child, which will hopefully lead to intervention, counseling or possibly removal from the home. * Please contact the following for assistance.

If by date you mean have sexual relations, the answer is yes. There is no restriction since the age of consent is 16 in Canada. It gets complicated for the 21 year old if the 16 year old does not give consent because the law might take the age in consideration, however so long as it is consensual between the two there is no problem. Parents would have no say according to the law.

No they can't. A birth certificate is not proof of identity unless accompanied by an official ID issued by the state or federal government, such as a drivers license, state identification card, or a passport.

No.

#2: Depends on the maturity of the 12 year old, and for how long they are all left alone.

#3: That's taking quite a risk, regardless of how mature the 12-y.o.is. If something goes wrong, even if the kid wasn't at fault, the parent will have to convince a jury that it was a good idea to leave a kid in charge. #4: Since this appears to not be a hypothetical question...This situation needs to be reported to local children's services in order for them to investigate the circumstances and protect the kids. Any situation that forces a 12-y.o. to cook without adult supervision is, by itself, a danger.

If you are between the ages of 7 to 18, its juvenile court, 18 or older, adult court

In every state a 17-year-old who has not been emancipated is considered to be a minor. Your parents can report you as a runaway. Depending on the laws of your state, the boyfriend could get into trouble also--harboring a runaway, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and possibly other (more serious) charges as well. It appears that you have received some misinformation. As the previous poster cited you are not legally of age until 18 and also the consequences pertaining to the action apply. Therefore your parents or legal guardian can take whatever choices available to have you returned to their custody that are in accordance with the laws of the state. In addition to the age of majority issue there are age of sexual consent and compulsory education laws that could apply.

ANSWERS: Yes. If you are working there is no reason you shouldn't pay rent just because they are your parents. No more free rides! Your parents are making you responsible and if you left home, worked and even went to school you would still have to pay rent. They are not doing anything illegal, but making you take responsibility before you go out into the world. Some parents realize that their children will squander the money, charge them rent and put that money into an account for their child(ren.) If your family is having tough times you should be more than willing to contribute some rent to help out. Food alone is very expensive. Marcy *I think it is totally ridiculous to expect a "CHILD" to pay their parent rent while they are still attending high school. What exactly is the job of a parent? One would think it is to provide the basic necessities of the child, that would include food, clothing and shelter. What kind of parent are you if you expect your kid to pay for things that many would think under the law you are obligated to provide. If a child moves out and requires assistance from the state you are required to pay the state support for that child until they reach 21 years old so how can it be that a child under that age would be expected to pay a parent rent? *They may be able to charge the rent from the child, which is ridiculous, but by law it is considered income to the parents and they would legally have to claim the rent as income on their tax returns. *In many states the parents of a minor are entitled to ALL wages the child earns. You are lucky they let you keep any of it. *Parents are responsible for the support of their children until they are adults or emancipated. If the parents really want the money, the employer in many states is required to send the paycheck to the parents if they request it.

Where practical, at the age of 11 the children must have another room to sleep

Petition the court to terminate the visitation with th guardian until the jailed parent is released from jail.

In most States child support ends upon the emancipation of the child. If you and your child's other Parent has entered into an agreement to continue child support beyond high school for college expenses, the child should start school after the summer ends, unless otherwise stated or agreed. If however, the child is sick, or has a good reason to postpone school, you should have your agreement modified to specify when the child is to start college and should he/she quit school or produce failing grades, child support ends. Good Luck.

It depends on the circumstances. My four, nearly five, year old understood the concept, but this was where a parent was involved. Yet my seven year old nephew did not understand and to this day still doesn't. It also depends on whether the child understands the concept of death or not as I believe this is the problem my nephew faced. I also know that at three years a child will definitely not understand as the chances are they still don't understand death as meaning someone is gone.
