Info on Florida child abuse and neglect..just get yourself a religious tax exemption and you get alot of protection..even if it was only gotten for tax reasons

http://library.adoption.com/articles/definitions-of-child-abuse-and-neglect-florida.html

A parent or legal custodian who, by reason of legitimate practice of religious beliefs, does not provide specified medical treatment for a child may not be considered abusive or neglectful for that reason alone, but such exception does not:

Eliminate the requirement that such a case be reported to the department;

Prevent the department from investigating such a case; or

Preclude a court from ordering, when the health of the child requires it, the provision of medical services by a physician or treatment by a duly accredited practitioner who relies solely on spiritual means for healing in accordance with the tenets and practices of a well-recognized church or religious organization.

Jett’s death certificate.

Has a weird time on it. I guess that is the time he was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Seems kind of late.

Those laws are needed.. as i said too many times there are way too many dysfunctional parents to not have gov’t step in to save children in certain neccessary cases..

I worry many times that the gov’t has been overstepping the bounds.. and intervening too much.. speaking of New York State.. but to have no laws at all for gov’t intervention is unthinkable and great harm to children would come from it..
