House Resolution No. urges the Department of Children and Family Services, the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, the office of juvenile justice, Louisiana State University, the Pelican Institute, Casey Family Programs, and the Pelican Center for Children and Families to conduct a study on the relationship between parental discipline, allegations of abuse, and the effects of disciplinary avoidance on juvenile delinquency since the enactment of Act No. 260 in 2015. This act recognizes the right of parents to discipline their children reasonably and distinguishes such discipline from acts of domestic abuse. The resolution highlights concerns that minors may exploit the system by threatening to report parents for abuse, which could undermine parental authority and contribute to increased juvenile delinquency.

The resolution calls for a comprehensive analysis of data regarding investigations and arrests of parents for alleged cruelty to juveniles when the conduct was intended as discipline. It also seeks to examine the frequency of cases where minors' threats to law enforcement led to the cessation of parental discipline and to review the disciplinary history of juveniles currently facing legal consequences. The findings from this study are to be reported to the Louisiana House of Representatives within a specified timeframe, ensuring that the legislature has the necessary information to understand the implications of parental discipline on juvenile behavior.
