Las Vegas Child Abuse and Neglect Attorney

Child Abuse and Neglect (Child Protective Services) Cases

Child Protective Services (CPS) is a division of the Clark County Department of Family Services that investigates reports of child abuse and neglect. This may include any type of physical, sexual or emotional abuse of a child, maltreatment of a child and negligence in regard to a child's care or treatment. Child abuse is a serious crime that may have more than criminal repercussions (imprisonment and fines) for a defendant. It may also affect child custody and visitation matters. Once an incident is reported to Child Protective Services, the agency will launch an investigation into the matter and may take a child into protective custody depending on the result of the investigation.
