What does child desertion mean?
Child desertion is the intentional or criminally negligent exposure of a child under the age of ten years, by a person who has the care, custody, or control of the child, to a hazard or danger against which the child cannot reasonably be expected to protect himself, or the desertion or abandonment of such child.
How do abandoned babies get names?
The tiniest ones are often left both without parents and an identity, and are named informally by an official. The temporary monikers are often bittersweet, reflecting the circumstances of their predicament as children are named for the hospital or church where they were found or the day or month they were abandoned.
What happens if parents can’t agree on a name?
Both parents have the right to name their children. If either you or the other parent want to change your child’s name, you both have to agree to the change. If the other parent refuses to give consent, then you need to get approval from the court.
