Florida has a range of complex, multifaceted laws intended to prevent harm to children under 18 and protect their overall welfare. Police take any report or suspicion extremely seriously, and any investigation into child abuse or neglect undertaken by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) can bring harsh consequences as well.
Any allegation or charge involving physical assault, sexual abuse, endangerment or even emotional abuse or child neglect can lead not only to the loss of parental rights, but also a felony conviction. Fast action to contact an experienced defense lawyer is essential in either situation, and you can find the caring, knowledgeable counsel you need at LaBar Adams in Orlando.
