loco parentis

Read a random definition: fiduciary

A quick definition of loco parentis:

Loco Parentis: This means that someone who is not your parent can take care of you like a parent would. For example, a teacher or school administrator can act like a parent while you are at school. This is called in loco parentis. It means they have some of the same responsibilities as your parents do. Sometimes, even a university can act like a parent and supervise a young adult.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Loco parentis means "in the place of a parent." It refers to someone who takes on the responsibilities of a parent for a child, even if they are not the child's biological parent.

Examples: A teacher or school administrator may act in loco parentis during the school day, meaning they have the authority to make decisions for the child as if they were the child's parent. For example, if a child gets hurt at school, the teacher or administrator can make medical decisions for the child. Another example is when a university takes on the role of loco parentis for its students, providing guidance and support as if they were the students' parents.

Explanation: Loco parentis is a legal term that describes a situation where someone who is not the child's parent takes on parental responsibilities. The examples illustrate how a teacher, school administrator, or university can act in loco parentis to ensure the safety and well-being of the child or young adult in their care.
