Practice question: Title XII – Crimes Against the Civil Status of Persons

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

A legitimate child stays temporarily with an identified relative for lawful care. The evidence excludes substitution, simulation and any intent to cause loss of civil status. The prosecution invokes only Article347 concealment because the child was away from home. Is location alone sufficient?
  1. Yes, every temporary family visit is criminal concealment
  2. No; the required prohibited conduct and specified intent must be established
  3. Yes, any child outside the home loses civil status
  4. Yes, the relative’s address supplies all elements
  5. Yes, lawful care automatically proves abandonment
