What Does Child Protective Services Look For?

These charges can be brought against almost anyone, although CPS will refer allegations involving doctors, teachers and clergy to the police. Typical charges include:
- Inadequate clothing, shelter or medical care, also known as environmental neglect
- Putting the child in risky situations or failure to protect
- Sexual abuse or exploitation
