Abuse And Neglect Law

Understanding Abuse and Neglect Cases

Abuse and neglect cases involve situations where an individual—often a child, elderly person, or vulnerable adult—is harmed, mistreated, or not properly cared for. These cases can include physical harm, emotional abuse, financial exploitation, or failure to provide basic needs.
