Juvenile dependency cases involve children who are neglected, abused, or not properly cared for by their parents, and the court may intervene to ensure their safety and well-being. In these cases, social workers help protect children, judges make decisions about what happens next, and lawyers represent various parties involved in the case. The ultimate goal is often reunification with the parents if they can provide a safe and healthy environment for the child, or finding a permanent home for the child if that's not possible.
