Neglect Proceedings
When a matter or certain conduct, actions, or inactions are reported to CPS, the agency may commence a neglect proceeding. Law guardians also may start a neglect proceeding. There are certain basic requirements for a matter to rise to the level of neglect, and it may involve not only neglect (the failure to do something), but actually doing something.
Educational neglect, medical neglect—these are all types of neglect proceedings. In fact, driving without a license or intoxicated with a child in a car becomes a neglect proceeding. These cases are handled in a certain part of the Family Court. They require:
- The exchange of evidence
- A possible plea
- A determination to admit or have a no-admission arrangement
- Possibility of a trial
