25-7-20. Parent's criminal liability not relieved by other parent's custody or support provided by others.
This chapter may not be construed to relieve one parent from the criminal liability defined in §25-7-16 for an omission because the other parent of the child is legally entitled to the custody of the child nor because the other parent of the child, or any other person, or organization, voluntarily or involuntarily furnishes necessary food, clothing, shelter, medical attendance, other remedial care, or other means of support for the child.
