The parents of a minor child for whom care or support of any kind has been provided under the provisions of this chapter shall be liable to reimburse the state for such care or support.

Any child who reimburses the state under the provisions of subsection (l) of section 46b-129 for any care or support such child received shall have a right of action to recover such payments from such child's parents.
