Parents have an obligation to provide food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and other necessities to their children until a child reaches age 18 or until emancipation. A child becomes emancipated if he or she leaves his or her parents and voluntarily lives on his or her own. The law imposes certain other duties on parents as well. Parents also have the right to control the behavior of their children. Parents have the right to select schools for their children and the religion they will practice. Parents have the right to use physical punishment as long as it does not rise to the level of child abuse. For example, mild slapping or spanking is legally permitted.
Child neglect occurs when a parent fails to provide a child with the necessities of life or other basic needs. The state may remove a child, either temporarily or permanently, from situations of child neglect. A parent's refusal to obtain medical care for a child can be punished as a crime.
