DCYF?

How much trouble can my dad get in by DCYF for “educational neglect”? What exactly would happen?

Answer #1

Usually a fine is enough, but the court will decide what happens based on the case…each case is different.

Some parents aren’t found guilty at all - reasoning that the child has disobeyed orders to attend school and the parents have done all they can.

Answer #2

what would happen to him then? Would he just have to pay a fine?

Answer #3

He could be found guilty of a misdemeanor.
