Depedency & Neglect
Dependency & Neglect (D&N) cases are ones of abuse or neglect of children. Unlike a criminal case, parents involved in a D&N case are not prosecuted for a crime. A D&N case is a civil case that does not involve the criminal prosecution of parents. Instead, parents who are involved in an allegation of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse of their children are held responsible for making positive changes in their families for the benefit of children’s best interests and safety. Children involved in a D&N case are placed under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court for their safety and protection.
