What are the consequences for parents convicted of exploiting their child through delivery to a beggar or vagrant?
If the convicted offenders are the parents of the child, they may be deprived of their parental authority (Article 278, Revised Penal Code). The court has the discretion to determine whether this deprivation should be temporary or perpetual. This serves as an additional severe consequence beyond the specified imprisonment and fine, reflecting the abuse of parental authority.
