[edit] Someone, please add to this article

Please add the meaning(s) of this phrase as it relates to States being able to take over responsibilities of the parent and; place the child in state/foster care ;or up for adoption; etc.

--- Additionally, In Loco Parentis laws allow non-parental adults to take custody of a minor child.

I believe this article is very much single point of view. While the original author may be most familiar with the concepts application to schools (and that may receive the most press & higher court coverage), I suspect that the family law application is actually more prevalent (in terms of quantity of cases).

I think it would also be helpful to add blurbs about boarding schools, overnight summer camps, etc. In loco parentis may mean something different here as supervisors in those institutions have more control over a minor's healthcare, well-being, and development. 216.164.33.13 (talk) 17:23, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Congressional Responsibility for Pages (In Loco Parentis)

I'm no legal expert on any subject, never mind the technical detail of this subject matter. I noticed that the only application of this legal term so far is as it relates to educational institutions. I hope some of the professors out there will take a serious look at this and not let the current political machines (left and right) get out in front of this issue. I'm sure that even the justice department will be influenced by the imminent election cycle.

Looking foward to any and all discussions and / or updates on this legal definition of page as it applies to protecting our most sacred resource in government. The definition as it applies to this situation is; "errand runner in U.S. Congress, POLITICS somebody who is employed to run errands, carry messages, act as a guide, and perform other duties in the U.S. Congress”. 1. What does "i loco parentis" mean as it relates to the pages in congress, does it make a difference as it relates to criminal law? Is it just a moral and value term? How is i loco parentis significant to teachers?

[edit] Tempting

I am very tempted to add the alternative translation, "My father is an engine driver", but perhaps not. JMcC 11:28, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] American Law

This article only concerns American law. Could someone discuss how the law treats in loco parentis in other countries?--Gazzster 10:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

The particularly important point is to add British common law, since this is where America takes the concept. 195.92.40.49 14:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
