 | | Abandonment by both parents means that the parents have willfully forsaken all parental rights, obligations and claims to the child, as well as all control over and possession of the child, without intending to transfer, or without transferring, these rights to any specific person(s). | | | Abandonment must include not only the intention to surrender all parental rights, obligations and claims to the child, and control over and possession of the child, but also the actual act of surrendering such rights, obligations, claims, control and possession. | | | The child must otherwise fall under the definition of a child under paragraph (E) except that the child was adopted while under the age of eighteen. |

| | Notice to the child may be excused by order of the court when the age, capacity, or other condition of the child is such that the notice would be meaningless or detrimental to the child. | | | If the efforts of such parent or legal custodian, or caregiver primarily responsible for the child's welfare, to support and communicate with the child are, in the opinion of the court, only marginal efforts that do not evince a settled purpose to assume all parental duties, the court may declare the child to be abandoned. | | | Time limitations are a right of the child which may not be waived, extended, or continued at the request of any party in advance of the particular circumstances or need arising upon which delay of the proceedings may be warranted. |

| | SB 116 Senate Bill - Bill Analysis |
| | If the child is not reclaimed the child protective services agency takes custody of the child and files a petition in juvenile court to have the child declared a dependent of the court. | | | Existing law protects from prosecution under the state's child abandonment laws a parent or other person having lawful custody of a child 72 hours old or younger, who voluntarily surrenders physical custody of the child to personnel on duty at a safe surrender site. | | | Further, the sunset clauses were critical because the bill immunized a mother and others from criminal prosecution under the state's child abandonment laws, and there was no means to gauge its impact. |

| | Where defendant is charged with child abandonment in failing to support and maintain said child, as by law required, the issue is single, and the defendant should not be allowed on cross-examination to make exploratory excursions into collateral issues. | | | The defendant then contends that the court erred in not permitting him to show that the first decree of divorce, alimony and child support was obtained by fraud, for the purpose of impeaching the prosecutrix to show her motive and animus. | | | In such a case as the one at bar willfulness or neglect may be gathered from all the circumstances and conditions involved in the case. |
