Child Neglect Laws

This past session, the Maryland General Assembly passed the Child Neglect Bill, legislation that will make intentional child neglect a criminal act in Maryland. Tonight, we'll look at the efforts that brought together members of the General Assembly as well as prosecutors, public defenders, doctors, and child and domestic violence advocates to craft a bill that prosecutes adults who are clearly and egregiously neglecting their children.
