Article 107 - Wellness of Infant

Canon 5196 (link)

It is a primary duty and obligation of the legal parents and custodian of an Infant to ensure the good health and wellness of the infant.

Canon 5197 (link)

It is the primary obligation of the biological father of an Infant conceived naturally to provide sufficient sustenance to the biological and legal mother until the Infant becomes a Child, even if the biological father is not in any form of relation with the mother of the Infant.

Canon 5198 (link)

The obligation of a biological father to provide sustenance to the biological and legal mother of the Infant ceases once the Infant becomes a Child unless the father was in a relation with the mother for more than two years in which case such obligations extend through to the end of Childhood.

Canon 5199 (link)

Excluding any primary obligation to supporting any Infants of his own which is always first priority, it is the obligation of the male partner of any biological and legal mother of an Infant to provide sufficient sustenance to the biological and legal mother until the Infant becomes a Child. If the mother is receiving sustenance from the biological father, then the male partner is obligated to refund the biological father directly to the value of his contribution so that the mother cannot receive twice the sustenance.

Canon 5200 (link)

It is a fundamental right as part of the obligations and duties of the legal parents and custodians to absolutely control the provision of certain vaccinations, foods, medicines and other drugs to infants in their care.

Canon 5201 (link)

The withholding of adequate therapeutic care to a seriously injured or ill infant, without legal excuse is a serious offence.

Canon 5202 (link)

It is a fundamental right as part of the obligations and duties of the legal parents and custodians to ensure adequate discipline is administered so that the infant does not develop antisocial behaviors derived from a complete lack of restraint and over response to the demands of the infant.

Canon 5203 (link)

Any social worker, any therapeutic officer and any person who comes in contact with an infant showing injuries consistent with possible sexual and/or ongoing physical abuse are required to report such signs immediately to police and secondly to make record image of such injuries for potential future prosecution.

Canon 5204 (link)

The failure of a social worker or any person in service or care to report such signs of abuse to the police and to fail to record such signs are themselves guilty of a serious social offence and crime, liable for loss of professional status and imprisonment. No claim of privacy, privilege or any other professional claim of duty shall be an acceptable defense against such gross negligent behaviour as the only way that society can effectively enforce a reduction in abuse against infants is a zero tolerance policy that ensures abusers will get caught.
