In most jurisdictions, a parent or legal guardian has the authority to make decisions on behalf of a minor. By signing this declaration, the parent affirms that they:

• Hold legal custody or guardianship of the child.

Failure to comply with these obligations may lead to disciplinary action, revocation of admission, or legal repercussions under local child protection statutes.
