State Board of Educationgreen2 sentences1987This statute was enacted in 1919, 4 long before the first enactment of the child neglect and abuse statute in 1941. 5 As we pointed out in Smith v. West Virginia State Board of Education, 170 W.Va. 593, 597 , 295 S.E.2d 680, 685 (1982), this Code provision embodies the in loco parentis doctrine which “originated in the English common law and recognizes that a parent delegates part of his parental authority while the child is in their custody.” We also noted in Smith that one of the reasons for the doctrine was to enable the school authorities to discipline school children. 1987This statute was enacted in 1919, 4 long before the first enactment of the child neglect and abuse statute in 1941. 5 As we pointed out in Smith v.
