What is the appropriate WIC section for a minor without support?

The correct choice for addressing the situation of a minor without support is found under Welfare and Institutions Code Section 300g. This section specifically pertains to situations where a child lacks appropriate parental support or care. In this context, "without support" indicates that the minor is not receiving the necessary guidance, supervision, or emotional support from their caregivers, rendering them at risk and requiring intervention by child protective services or similar authorities.

It's essential to understand that the other sections refer to different circumstances involving minors. For instance, 300i typically addresses minors who are neglected and have an unstable living environment, while 300j deals with minors who are subjected to substantial risk of harm due to their guardians' behavior. Section 305 concerns the power of law enforcement to take a child into custody when they are in imminent danger, but it does not specifically address the lack of support by caregivers. Therefore, for cases where a minor is specifically identified as lacking sufficient support, 300g is the appropriate legal framework for intervention.
