Case Study:
The case is relating to DCF neglect allegations stemming from a child accessing Mom’s allergy medication, claiming to have ingested a few pills at once. Precautions were taken by Mom to ensure the child remained unharmed by poisoning. During this challenging time, it is crucial to understand what your rights are during a DCF investigation to navigate the situation effectively and safeguard the family’s interests.

Although the DCF neglect allegations initially lacked support, DCF decided to open a case for neglect, raising questions about parents’ rights against DCF. Shortly after, the Department began showing interest in the DCF investigation process.
