 <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Child_Neglect_Penalty">Child Neglect Penalty</span></h2>
-<p>If a child character is considered to be suicidal or neglected within their first year of life (10 real days), they will be taken away from the account, and the account will have its child character creation privileges suspended for 6 months. There is a warning about this in child character creation. Children removed from their accounts will be put into hibernation and offered for adoption. Children are considered to be inactive if they have not been viewed/roleplayed for 3 real days, and will be given a reminder to play their character if inactivity is detected. Children are considered neglected if their hunger reaches 30% while food is available in their inventory/on the ground, or if their health is 30% while attacking people or animals. The child will stay in hibernation for a week before it can die naturally. A child character can be willfully put up for adoption if they are age 5 and are not incapable, and the penalty will not be applied.

 <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Child_Adoption">Child Adoption</span></h2>
-<p>Adoption is the ability for an account to skip the queue and take over a character who was either unwanted or neglected on another account. Adoption is only available to accounts that qualify for having a child of the available race - meaning, you cannot adopt children if you already have filled child slots or if you already play the race that is adoptable, etc. Accounts that are able to adopt will see the option appear in the upper right corner of the navigation bar with a number indicating how many children are available. Accounts cannot adopt a child if they have never played a child before, in order to avoid players finding out they don't enjoy playing children and wasting an opportunity for that child to be adopted by a player that enjoys playing that role. You cannot adopt a child who is on the same tile as another of your characters.

 </p><p><b>Child adoption does fall under the 2 day rule for OOC discussion.</b> It is not appropriate to discuss who is adopting, who players of the parents of the adoptee are, and the event of adoption in general until two days after it has been resolved. These discussions can affect who adopts the child, and therefore IC events.
 </p><p><b>Adoption is not affected by avoidance.</b> Avoidance only affects the spawning of your own created characters, it does not affect what options you see as characters who are up for adoption.
