Indiana·Art. 34 JUVENILE LAW: CHILDREN IN NEED OF·Ch. 1 Circumstances Under Which a Child Is a Child in Need

If a parent, guardian, or custodian fails to provide specific medical treatment for a child because of the legitimate and genuine practice of the religious beliefs of the parent, guardian, or custodian, a rebuttable presumption arises that the child is not a child in need of services because of the failure. However, this presumption does not do any of the following:

(1)Prevent a juvenile court from ordering, when the health of a child requires, medical services from a physician licensed to practice medicine in Indiana.

(2)Apply to situations in which the life or health of a child is in serious danger. [Pre-1997 Recodification Citation: 31-6-4-3(d).]
