You obviously don't hang around enough with lawyers or lawmakers. Makes perfect sense to me.
"minor child" is self explanatory. "to be in need of supervision" is pretty easy to visualize. Kids in their living room, not much. kids in their backyard, more. kids in a car alone for a half hour near a four lane highway, probably in need of supervision. kids near a pool alone, a lot. the "encourage" is a little more difficult, until you remember this was written by lawmakers to stand up against lawyers. If the had said "force a minor", lawyers would argue about what "force" means. By using a wishy-washy word like "encourage", it is hard for a lawyer to say "it doesn't apply" On 3/23/06, Ian Skinner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ok I agree that this man is in serious trouble and I hope he is taught a > lesson. > > But what the f... does "encouraging a minor child to be in need of > supervision." mean?
