Legal

This electronic book by Janet Mason provides a comprehensive explanation of the North Carolina law requiring all citizens to report cases of suspected child abuse, neglect, and dependency. It also describes the state’s child protective services system. A useful reference for medical professionals, law enforcement officials, reporters, child care providers, social workers, teachers, counselors, principals, and other school personnel, it may also be helpful as a training aid. Appendixes include useful sections of the North Carolina Juvenile Code, elements of criminal offenses against children, and relevant Web sites and telephone numbers. Also includes a fall 2003 update, addressing legislation enacted by the 2003 session of the North Carolina General Assembly, a recent North Carolina Supreme Court decision, and recodification of Title 10 of the North Carolina Administrative Code.
