摘要:
While Child Protective Services may provide some services to remedy the underlying issues of child neglect allegations, these efforts are often bare minimum and inadequately implemented in order to effectuate the goals of family reunification. This Note proposes an amendment to the Family Court Act in order to promote compliance of local child welfare agencies' obligation to reunify the family unit. The amendment will mandate that agencies show, by clear and convincing evidence, that the child protective services agency has made active efforts to reunify the family.
