DISCUSSION OF THE PROCEDURES INVOLVED IN CHILD NEGLECT PROCEEDINGS, ANALYZING THE REQUIREMENTS NECESSARY TO AFFORD BOTH PARENTS AND CHILDREN PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS.

Abstract

THIS NOTE FOCUSES SOLELY ON THE DUE PROCESS REQUIREMENTS IN A NEGLECT PROCEEDING, KEEPING IN MIND THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN SUCH LIMITED INTERVENTION AND THE MORE DRASTIC STEP OF TERMINATING THE PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIP. IT EXAMINES THE POWER OF THE JUVENILE COURT TO ORDER TEMPORARY INTERVENTION IN THE RELATIONSHIP AND SUGGESTS WHICH PROCEDURES ARE NECESSARY TO ASSURE THAT SUCH INTERFERENCE COMPORTS WITH THE DUE PROCESS RIGHTS OF BOTH PARENT AND CHILD.
