Current as of January 02, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

Sec. 14. 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.
