On the heels of two child deaths in San Antonio, allegedly from abuse, KSAT is taking a look at new laws passed last year that affect abuse and Child Protective Services cases.
Several laws passed in September 2021 have an impact on the way CPS and child abuse cases are interpreted.
“Previously, the definition of neglect meant that an act was committed with blatant disregard for the consequences that resulted in harm or a substantial risk of harm to a child,” Diaz explained. “The law has now been changed to where those actions have to result in harm or immediate danger to a child. So it’s heightening the threshold of proof.”Diaz said one of the goals of the law is to prioritize family reunification.
She said that’s why it’s more important than ever that when people see abuse they report it immediately because timing matters.
