How much trouble can my dad get in by DCYF for "educational neglect"? What exactly would happen?
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.
what would happen to him then? Would he just have to pay a fine?
He could be found guilty of a misdemeanor.
