Children and the Law

The law does notseta minimum ageat which childrencan be left alone. However, it is an offence to leave a child alone when doing so puts him or her at risk. Consider the event of a fire or an accident. Your decision to leave them alone if those thingsoccured could result in your child being injured or dead, they could betaken away from you permantently and put into care. Common sense..I myself would never have left my child alone before the age of 13 for a short time(half a day stating when exactly I would be home)and at 18yrs oldfor a weekend. Always leave a contact number for themt o get in touch withyou, and preferably of a grandparent or someone you and theytrust also.

It's not a state law it is a federal law. It speaks to the taking of a minor across state lines without permission from the minor's parents, regardless of the reason it is done. It is based upon the same premise as kidnapping laws and pertains to all minors with the exception that it does not address the issue of "against one's will" unless the minor is below the age of 12 or in some instances 16. It's found in various forms in United States Code Title 18, Crimes and Criminal Procedure. Regardless of the circumstances, prosecutors always can find at least one federal and state statute that can be used to charge the adult with a felony, and they like doing it. It's been my experience that judges also enjoy seeing adults who commit criminal offenses such as the one being discussed convicted and always impose maximum sentences. Which, all things considered is as it should be.

Well I'm 11 and I liked this boy who is 12, i text him and said "do you like me?" he said, a little bit, and I said that I liked him. Turns out he had actually liked me the last 2 years. He asked me out the next day and we have been going out for 3 months now and theres still many months to come.

No, the age at which a person is no longer considered a minor under Pennsylvania law is 18!!. A minor leaving home against the wishes of the parents or guardian can be picked up by authorities and remanded into the custody of PA. Children and Youth Services. Pennsylvania is a state whose laws pertaining to minors are confusing to say the least. Each county establishes codes that relate to what a minor may or may not legally do, including the option of petitioning the court for emancipation rights. However, state law determines the age of majority, a classic example of convoluted logic in action.

According to the Texas Local Governments code, chapter 351, section 903, each individual municipality or county in Texas has the right to establish its own curfew. Correspondingly, there is no state curfew, and you should instead check with the local police department, sheriff's office, county courthouse, precinct annex, etc. in whatever municipality or county you're in to find locally-specific information.

My guess is No since he was married to the same woman for 39 years until his death in 2002. He also had 1 son. But then again, being married and having children does not necessarily mean he was not gay, but he certainly was effeminate at the very least. just sayin.

Yes. A 20-year old is an adult. A parent or other is not "liable" for the 20-year old any more (unless by court order). This individual is "on his own" in this case. If the homeowner wants the person out of the home, a call to the police will make it happen. Then all that's needed is a restraining order. Best of luck sorting this one out.

(i left the joke under cause it deserves to(:)

well if the dog, has a penis, then its a boy, if it doesn't then its a girl.

sometimes the boys have dots near their penis that looks like the girls parts, but idk about that, but point is:

penis = boy

no penis = girl

This remind's me of a joke. A father took his children to a garage sale one morning, when they got home mum asked what did they see there, one child replied puppies, their mother asked were they male or female, the child replied their were 2 males and 1 female, how did you know that mum asked, the child replied, dad kept picking them and looking under their belly i supposed it must have printed there.

you could have over 20 but only normal moms have either 2 or 3 babys

2 or 3 children

To sit in the fromt seat of the car you have to be over the age of 12, and at least 110 pounds or heavier. however, if you are 17 years or older, you can sit in the back without the need of a seat belt (unless your in Texas or Kansas)

Yes, but he has up to six months to file an injunction ordering the child be returned to the jurisdiction of the state/county. I teach fathers how to do this.

Leaving an 8 year old alone could be considered neglect and could result in criminal charges on the parents or loss of parental rights.

A minor who becomes a parent has the same legal rights to their child as an adult parent. In such a case the young man would need to establish proof paternity before he would be able to file for his custodial rights. Such proof is best obtained through DNA testing although the majority of state's will accept blood test results.

any one can own a car it is like buying any item however u cant drive that car unless u have a drivers liscense

If his name is on the birth certificate he is the legal parent along with the mother. If they have split up she can go to court and ask for custody.

No, in the U.S. the children of a first marriage take precedence in regards to child support. The law assumes that a person remarries and the person who becomes the new spouse accept the obligation for supporting all previously born children. Although this often institutes a hardship on second families, it is still the choice that a new spouse makes when marrying someone who has such obligations as child support and/or spousal maintenance (alimony).

Age limits vary by state, see related link below.

In Texas, according to the Texas Department of Motorcycle Safety (as of October 2010): "A passenger on a motorcycle must be at least 5 years old. Texas Transportation code Sec. 545.416 (d)"

You file the completed forms at the courthouse and attend a hearing. Some states require that you publish a notice in the local newspaper too. It is easier when both parents agree to the child's name change.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but there are no states in the union that allow a 16 year old to get married without parental permission. Matter of fact, not even Canada and Mexico allow this. It would be better to wait out the two years and get married when you're a legal adult. If you cannot wait two years, then you are not really mature enough to marry in the first place.

Child support and visitation rights are two entirely different issues. The terms of visitation should have been determined before divorce proceedings and finalized when the divorce decree was awarded. The court generally prefers the parents reach an amicable agreement for reasonable visitation by the non-custodial parent. If specified days/times have been ordered by the court the custodial parent must allow visitation or risk being in contempt of a court order.
