What is the English translation of the Latin term "in loco parentis"?

In loco parentis (in loh-coh par-ent-iss) refers to a person or institution that stands in place of a parent and thus has certain legal responsibilities that the absent parent would otherwise have. For example, a foster parent, custodial agency or boarding school might stand in loco parentis.
