CHILDREN AND YOUNG PERSONS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1968 - SECT 146

146.(1) The parent or legal guardian of a person who is under the care of the
managers of a training school or is in the care of a fit person in pursuance
of an order under this Act shall keep the managers of the school or, as the
case may be, the fit person informed of the parent's or legal guardian's
address.

(2) Where a person is transferred from one training school to another the
managers of the school from which he is transferred shall, where possible,
inform his parent or legal guardian of the transfer; and until his parent or
legal guardian has been so informed, the parent's or legal guardian's duty
under subsection (1) shall be deemed to be duly discharged if he keeps the
managers of the first-mentioned school informed of his address.

Subs.(3) rep. by 1972 NI 14 art.109(3) sch.18

(4) A parent or legal guardian of a person who, knowing that that person is
under the care of the managers of a training school or in the care of a
fit person as mentioned in subsection (1), contravenes that subsection shall
be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine
not exceeding [#50]; but in any proceedings under this subsection it shall be
a defence to prove that the defendant was residing at the same address as the
other parent and had reasonable cause to believe that the other parent had
kept the managers or fit person informed of the address of both.[
