The sort of omission that is punished by statute is neglect of a duty or obligation. Generally some obligations are thought to be deserving of enforcement. They then properly belong in a society's legal code. Other obligations are merely moral and are outside the purview of law. Thus, only omission of a legally binding obligation is a matter for law enforcement. The question to be considered here is: Should there be an enforced legal duty of Parents to support their minor children?
