In cases where the Department of Children and Youth Services (DCYS) finds that allegations of neglect are supported by facts, the agency will file a petition with the court. The DCYS will usually seek the help of the court if the juvenile is in immediate danger or can no longer reside at home, if the parents/guardians refuse to cooperate with treatment of supervision, or if intervention has failed to stop suspected neglect. In cases requiring immediate action, the DCYS may request immediate custody, and a hearing on an order of temporary custody will be held within 10 days. A DCYS worker will investigate allegations that a child is dependent, neglected, or uncared for. Unless the parents admit the allegations, an adjudiatory hearing will be held to determine if allegations are true. An adjudication of neglect must be made before the court may issues orders affecting the guardianship of a minor. Following this adjudication, a dispositional hearing will be held, during which the judge will receive information about the family, the needs of the juvenile, and options for helping the juvenile and the family. Possible dispositions include dismissal, protective supervision, or commitment to the guardianship of the DCYS or other agency or individual. Commitment can only be revoked if it can be shown that the original need no longer exists or the revocation is in the child's best interests. In serious cases, the court may order a termination of parental rights. For minors between 16 and 18 years old, an order of emancipation of the minor may be granted. Decisions of the court may be appealed, and all records are confidential.
