Sometimes
Parents shouldn't be responsible for adult children.
It varies from family to family. Usually the biological parents take care of medical expenses, but sometimes the stepparent is just in a better position, is a primary caretaker, or simply feels they want to step up to the plate for a child.
No, they are not
Children take their cue on how to behave from those around them. When parents are noticeably concerned, children's anxiety levels rise. Parents should remain as calm as possible to be fully present for their children.
Children had no 'rights'. The parents had complete control over their families.
The estate is responsible for the medical debts. The exception would be if the children were the insurance holder or co-signed the medical agreement.
Status offenders are children who commit offenses only because of their status as minors, such as truancy or running away. Dependent children lack proper care due to their parents' inability or unwillingness to provide for their basic needs, while neglected children suffer from a lack of proper care or supervision regardless of the parents' abilities.
If the daughter is a legal adult over the age of 18, then parents have little say or control over them. If the daughter is still a dependent (for tax purposes, for example) on the parents, then the parents do still exert some control legally over the child. Also, a measure can be taken medically if a person is deemed to be suicidial, homicidal, or a sever threat to themselves / others.
yes definitely!
Dependent variable: Whether children were given to adopted parents or natural parents. Independent variable: social relationships at ages 8 and 16.
