IN THE ROLE OF A PARENT In some circumstances grandparents or other relatives, such as siblings, may stand in loco parentis to a child, but a person does not have to have a biological or legal relationship to a child to be in this role.
The term in loco parentis, Latin for in the place of a parent, refers to the legal responsibility of a person or organization to take on some of the functions and responsibilities of a parent. Originally derived from English common law, the doctrine is applied in two separate areas of the law. In loco parentis - Wikipedia wikipedia.org wiki Inlocoparentis wikipedia.org wiki Inlocoparentis
Real-world examples A grandparent who takes care of their grandchild after the parents are unable to do so may be considered to be acting in loco parentis. A boarding school that assumes responsibility for students during the school year is acting in loco parentis (hypothetical example).
