sending her 16yr old daughter here to come to an event with me this weekend. The
teen will have two copies of a signed Minor Medical Waiver authorizing me (as
the assigned adult) to approve any medical care she might need. My friend is
actually very happy that the SCA has these rules to protect her child, and this
is the main reason she's allowing her teen to come and play with
us.</FONT></DIV>

Definition of "guardian"</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>A 'legal' guardian or guardian as defined in our waivers is
exactly<BR>that: an actual parent or court appointed guardian.<BR><BR>A parent
cannot send the child with a grandparent and call them the<BR>guardian. They
CAN send them with the grandparent who is called an<BR>"assigned adult" as
stated in the Minor Medical Waiver. That Minor<BR>Medical Waiver is the parent
or guardian authorizing the "assigned<BR>adult" to approve the medical care
indicated.<BR><BR>However, and this is very important, an assigned adult
CANNOT<BR>authorize the minor's participation in any combat related
activities.<BR> The minor waiver states "I further understand that said
minor cannot<BR>participate under ANY circumstances in armored martial arts,
any<BR>combat-related activities, combat-archery, or fencing without
parental<BR>consent where such participation is allowed by kingdom law."
This<BR>means that an assigned adult must also have a signed letter
permitting<BR>the minor to participate in the parent's
absence.<BR><BR><BR><BR>-- <BR>Baron James Llewellyn ap Gruffydd,
OP<BR>Kingdom Seneschal, An Tir<BR><BR><BR><BR>> I suppose this august
assembly has fielded this question before, but as I<BR>> am relatively new
I know not the answer: how do we define "guardian" (as in<BR>> a guardian
of a minor) in the SCA? In my modern career I use a very<BR>> specific
definition which involves a court's determination and bonding and<BR>> the
removal or limitation of the rights of other parties.<BR>><BR>> Can a
parent send their child to an SCA event with a grandparent and call<BR>>
the grandparent the child's 'guardian' for this purpose? In my modern
work,<BR>> the answer would be resoundingly NO. What say you, good
gentles?<BR>><BR>> Domestique,<BR>><BR>>
