DEFINITIONS (§ 63.2-100)

As used in this title, unless the context requires a different
meaning:		&#8220;Abused or neglected child&#8221; means any child less than 18
years of age:

1. Whose parents or other person responsible for his care creates or inflicts,
threatens to create or inflict, or allows to be created or inflicted upon such
child a physical or mental injury by other than accidental means, or creates a
substantial risk of death, disfigurement, or impairment of bodily or mental
functions, including, but not limited to, a child who is with his parent or
other person responsible for his care either (i) during the manufacture or
attempted manufacture of a Schedule I or II controlled substance, or (ii) during
the unlawful sale of such substance by that child&#8217;s parents or other
person responsible for his care, where such manufacture, or attempted
manufacture or unlawful sale would constitute a felony violation of &#xA7;
18.2-248;

2. Whose parents or other person responsible for his care neglects or refuses to
provide care necessary for his health. However, no child who in good faith is
under treatment solely by spiritual means through prayer in accordance with the
tenets and practices of a recognized church or religious denomination shall for
that reason alone be considered to be an abused or neglected child. Further, a
decision by parents who have legal authority for the child or, in the absence of
parents with legal authority for the child, any person with legal authority for
the child, who refuses a particular medical treatment for a child with a
life-threatening condition shall not be deemed a refusal to provide necessary
care if (i) such decision is made jointly by the parents or other person with
legal authority and the child; (ii) the child has reached 14 years of age and is
sufficiently mature to have an informed opinion on the subject of his medical
treatment; (iii) the parents or other person with legal authority and the child
have considered alternative treatment options; and (iv) the parents or other
person with legal authority and the child believe in good faith that such
decision is in the child&#8217;s best interest. No child whose parent or other
person responsible for his care allows the child to engage in independent
activities without adult supervision shall for that reason alone be considered
to be an abused or neglected child, provided that (a) such independent
activities are appropriate based on the child&#8217;s age, maturity, and
physical and mental abilities and (b) such lack of supervision does not
constitute conduct that is so grossly negligent as to endanger the health or
safety of the child. Such independent activities include traveling to or from
school or nearby locations by bicycle or on foot, playing outdoors, or remaining
at home for a reasonable period of time. Nothing in this subdivision shall be
construed to limit the provisions of &#xA7; 16.1-278.4;

3. Whose parents or other person responsible for his care abandons such child;

4. Whose parents or other person responsible for his care, or an intimate
partner of such parent or person, commits or allows to be committed any act of
sexual exploitation or any sexual act upon a child in violation of the law;

5. Who is without parental care or guardianship caused by the unreasonable
absence or the mental or physical incapacity of the child&#8217;s parent,
guardian, legal custodian or other person standing in loco parentis;

6. Whose parents or other person responsible for his care creates a substantial
risk of physical or mental injury by knowingly leaving the child alone in the
same dwelling, including an apartment as defined in &#xA7; 55.1-2000, with a
person to whom the child is not related by blood or marriage and who the parent
or other person responsible for his care knows has been convicted of an offense
against a minor for which registration is required as a Tier III offender
pursuant to &#xA7; 9.1-902; or

2015, 42 U.S.C. &#xA7; 5101 et seq.
			If a civil proceeding under this title is based solely on the parent having
left the child at a hospital or emergency medical services agency, it shall be

days of the child&#8217;s birth to (i) a hospital that provides 24-hour
