Bill Summary
CHILD PROTECTION -- Amends existing law to revise the definition of “neglected.”
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to revise the definition of "neglected" in the context of child protection. The key changes include clarifying that neglect occurs when a child lacks necessary parental care and control, resulting in a substantial risk of bodily injury or grave harm due to a conscious disregard of parental responsibilities. The bill also specifies that a child is not considered neglected for engaging in certain independent activities, such as traveling to school or remaining at home unattended. Additionally, the bill updates the definition of "disability" and provides details on "supportive services" that can assist parents with disabilities in caring for their children.
