Child Protective Act
Idaho · Juvenile Proceedings · §§ 16-1601 to 16-1647 · 51 sections
Overview
The Child Protective Act governs the response to child abuse, abandonment, and neglect, placing proceedings involving an endangered child under court jurisdiction and defining the powers and duties of the state child welfare department. It creates a mandatory reporting system — extending immunity to those who report and imposing civil liability for reports made in bad faith — and authorizes emergency removal of a child, followed by shelter care and adjudicatory hearings, investigation including by multidisciplinary teams, and court-approved case plans subject to periodic review and permanency hearings. It also provides for appointment of a guardian ad litem and counsel for the child, and sets procedures for terminating the parent-child relationship, appealing orders, and handling court records.
