Dependency
Definition:
Juvenile Dependency involves children who have been abandoned
by their parents or caretakers and who have suffered physical or emotional
harm. Drug use, exposure to domestic violence, mental illness, sexual abuse
and medical neglect are all reasons that a parent or caretaker can lose their
children. Dependency also refers to those children who have
special and unique problems that cannot be taken care of by their parent or
caretaker.
Consequences of Juvenile Delinquency:
In juvenile dependency cases, when a child has been abused, abandoned or neglected, or if they have special needs that the parent or caretaker is unable to provide proper care for, an informal investigation takes place. The child may then be removed from his/her home and stay in foster care or with a close relative until the case is held in juvenile court.What a Lawyer can do for you:
