“Derivative neglect” means that a parent’s prior neglect of one child may be used as evidence of potential neglect toward another. For example, if a court found neglect involving an older child, CPS might file a new case for a younger sibling even without direct harm. Suffolk County Family Court looks at patterns of behavior and safety risks. Call Steven Zalewski, Esq. in Islandia to discuss how to defend against a derivative neglect claim.
