Child Abuse and Neglect Basics Under New York State Law

Charges of child abuse or neglect are grounds for the state to interfere with these parental rights. When parents cannot meet the responsibilities that come with raising their children, the State has a right to intervene as a matter of public policy. When you or someone you know is facing this situation, it is important to get professional legal help from a qualified attorney.

Even the best parents can be falsely accused of child abuse or neglect by a disgruntled former spouse, another parent, significant other, family member, or neighbor. These charges are serious and should not be taken lightly, even when you know the accusation is untrue. It is not worth the risk of having your career affected or losing your child.

Our New York City child abuse and neglect lawyers can help in a variety of situations if:

  • You and/or your partner have been accused of child abuse/neglect by Child Protective Services or the State has brought an Article 10 lawsuit against you in Family Court.
  • You have not been accused but are named as an “interested party” in a child abuse/neglect case by Child Protective Services (CPS) or the Department of Social Services (DSS).
  • Your child has been removed from the primary caretaker after charges of abuse or neglect, and you are seeking temporary custody of the child.

There are many different forms of child abuse and neglect. Child abuse can be any act that endangers or impairs a child’s well-being. Child abuse can be sexual, physical, emotional, or psychological. Child neglect can be any act that deprives a child of their essential needs. As with abuse, there are different types of neglect, such as physical, medical, educational, emotional, and even lack of supervision.
