[New York, 10/02/2019] – The Law Offices of Ian S. Mednick, P.C. represents Long Island clients wrongly accused of child abuse or neglect. Such matters are sensitive because the state can terminate the defendant’s parental rights if he or she loses the case. Attorney Mednick and his team handle all four types of child abuse cases: physical, sexual, emotional, and neglect.

Child Abuse

Anyone can be charged with child abuse, even if the accused does not have any relations with the child. Teachers, day care workers, and family members are more likely to be targets of false allegations. Parents accused of child abuse have the most complicated cases since they can potentially lose custody of their child.

Child abuse can occur in four ways: physical, sexual, emotional, and neglect. Physical abuse includes any injury caused by physical aggression, even if it was unintentional. Emotional abuse encompasses everything that may affect the child’s mental or emotional health, such as verbal abuse or extreme punishment.

An experienced attorney is crucial to any case involving child abuse. Ian S. Mednick has handled different cases of abuse, so he is able to provide aggressive yet compassionate representation for his clients.

Neglect or Inadequate Guardianship

Child neglect is a form of abuse, referring to the failure to meet a child’s basic needs. Neglect can either mean complete inability to provide shelter, clothing, or food, or inadequate guardianship.

Inadequate guardianship refers to insufficient case and supervision, extreme or excessive punishment, providing unsanitary living environments, or abandonment.
