Me and my mom are having an interesting convo about this, are parents allowed to make a child sleep in the yard with a disciplinary reason? i mean even if you have a disciplinary reason, are they allowed to do this? Because law states that the parents MUST provide food, shelter, & clothing until the child is eight-teen. Another question, are the parents allowed to send the child to bed without being fed, and they have a "disciplinary reason" for this? Although the law states that the parents must provide food? please leave THOUROUGH answers!
