The lemonade diet was first developed by Stanley Burroughs. The diet works by cleansing the body of toxic materials, resulting in accelerated weight loss. The reason you lose weight so quickly is the severe caloric intake restriction over a short time frame. This dramatic calorie cut can result in a large drop in weight over a small period of time (a few weeks).
Many states have a statute that states the age a child can choose to live with the other parent. For example, in Texas, children can make the choice at age 12.What does this mean? Assuming mom is the primary parent with custody, can your child simply state he or she wants to live with dad and thatâs the end of it?
In a few states, laws govern that question. But not in Oklahoma or in Texas. Neither Oklahoma law nor state Department of Human Services policies specify at what age a child can stay home alone or baby-sit. However, DHS has some guidelines. If a child is left home alone at age 6 or younger, parents could be charged with neglect, depending on the circumstances, said Mary Leaver, DHS agency spokeswoman. And in many circumstances, children older than 6 should not be left alone. But each case is examined individually.
