Understanding CHIPS Cases

A CHIPS case can be initiated when child protection agencies believe that a child is at risk due to allegations of abuse, neglect, or other endangerment. These cases can result in court-ordered interventions, removal of the child from the home, or termination of parental rights if not properly defended.

Common Allegations in CHIPS Cases:

  • Physical abuse or injuries

  • Emotional abuse

  • Medical neglect

  • Educational neglect

  • Exposure to unsafe living conditions

  • Parental substance abuse
