Page 144 - Important Provisions of The New Civil Code

The grounds enumerated above are deemed to

include cases which have resulted from

culpable negligence of the parent or the person

exercising parental authority.

If the degree of seriousness so warrants, or the

welfare of the child so demands, the court shall

deprive the guilty party of parental authority or

adopt such other measures as may be proper

under the circumstances.

The suspension or deprivation may be revoked

and the parental authority revived in a case filed

for the purpose or in the same proceeding if the

court finds that the cause therefor has ceased

and will not be repeated. (33a)
