b. affiant is a person standing in loco parentis to the minor, and that the minor's parents have consented to such receipt, or are dead, or have absconded, or have absented themselves leaving the minor without sufficient provision for maintenance and education, or are in such armed forces, or are not present in the continental United States, as the case may be.
