[Star Wars] Can the Parents of Force Sensitive Children refuse to give they kids to the Jedi?

Can they get arrested for not giving up there children?


Is there any law in the republic that says they have to?

Yes, they can refuse.  The Jedi are not slavers.  
That said, the life of a Jedi is such that few parents would deny their children the opportunity.  A child taken in by the Jedi will never go hungry or unsheltered, and will always be able to look after themselves and others.  That's a damn sight better than many folks get.  
For others to whom the above comes easy, there is the respect, prestige, and the chance to play a part on the galactic stage that is a powerful draw.  
So yes, they can refuse, but fewer than you'd think actually do.
