If you are aware of an abusive situation involving a child, it is important for you to call Child Protective Services immediately.
Besides friends and family members, there are other individuals who are mandatory reporters, such as teachers, principals, doctors or therapists. Once a report is made, CPS will investigate the claim – sometimes the situation is founded; sometimes it is not. An investigation can result in charging a specific person with neglect.
Being the subject of a report can greatly appreciate your life and your ability to work in certain federal and state agencies or in a position around children, such as a teacher or daycare provider.
If you are being accused of child abuse or you have discovered that your spouse is abusing your child, contact an aggressive Orange County Family Law attorney who will stay on top of the CPS investigation and make sure your rights and those of your children are protected.
