Under the living-with-minors restriction, an offender may live with a minor only if they are which?

• A. A grandparent of the minor
• B. The minor is a legal adult
• C. A parent, stepparent, adoptive parent, or legally appointed guardian
• D. They have written release from the court

Answer: (C)

Living-with-minors restrictions are built around the idea that only someone with a formal parental or guardian role can share a home with a minor under the offender’s supervision. This ensures someone responsible for the child’s welfare is in the home and accountable for the child’s safety.

The best choice says the offender may live with a minor only if they are the minor’s parent, stepparent, adoptive parent, or legally appointed guardian. These relationships carry recognized duties and authority over the child, making cohabitation with a minor legally permissible under the restriction.

Why the other ideas don’t fit: being related as a grandparent isn’t automatically enough unless they also have a legal guardianship or parental role; the minor being a legal adult means there isn’t a minor to live with under this restriction; and simply having a court release letter doesn’t establish the necessary parental or guardian relationship that the restriction requires.
