1. Chapter1:Whoisa Child?
a child (plural: children) is a human being between the stages
of birth and puberty.[1][2] The legal definition of child generally refers to
a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority.[1]
Child may also describe a relationship with a parent (such
as sons and daughters of any age)[3] or, metaphorically, an authority figure,
or signify group membership in a clan, tribe, or religion; it can also signify
being strongly affected by a specific time, place, or circumstance, as in "a
child of nature" or "a child of the Sixties".

ChildAbuse Prevention
A child is deemed to need protection in the following circumstances:
• If the child has been,or is likely to be, physically harmed or sexually abused by neglect,
directly by the parent or by another person and the child's parentis unwilling or unable to
protect the child;
• If the child is emotionally harmed by the parent's conduct(a child is emotionallyharmed if
the child demonstrates severe anxiety, depression,withdrawal,or self-destructive or
aggressive behaviour);
• If the child is deprived of necessary health care or the child's developmentis likelyto be
seriouslyimpaired bya treatable condition and the child's parentrefuses to provide or
consentto treatment;
• If the child's parentis unable or unwilling to care for the child and has notmade adequate
provision for the child's care;
• If the child is or has been absent from home in circumstances thatendanger the child's
safety or well-being;
• If the child's parent is dead or if the child has been abandoned,and adequate provision
has not been made for the child's care;or
• If the child is in the care of a director or another person by agreementand the child's
parentis unwilling or unable to resume care when the agreementis no longer in force.
Apparently, in BC anyway, this list is not exhaustive (BS v British Columbia)!
Real-life examples of behaviour resulting in a parent losing their child to child
protection custody include alcoholism, destructive or dysfunctional
relationships with new partners, and unexplained injuries.
A common feature of child protection legislation is to require everybody in the
Province to report any child needing protection. Typically, the legislation will
protect the identity and civil liability of the disclosing party but otherwise makes
it an offence to not report. It is one of those rare areas where Good
Samaritanism is mandatory.
According to the Government of BC, here are some examples of situations
justifying a report:
 A school teacher notices that a child has bruises or other injuries and neither the child or the
child’s family can’t explain these injuries;
 A child discloses that he/she’s being sexually abused; or
