Definition of Abuse and Neglect in New Hampshire Chapter 169-C: Child Protection Act

Chapter 169-C: Child Protection Act

XIX. b. After stating a parent WILL neglect their child in the future, this is how they write it up on paper so it look's legal when they can't charge you legally for what you're being accused of.
It also proves substance and alcohol abuse are not included as abuse or neglect, but Nashua DCYF get's around these illegal allegation's by charging a parent with neglect under XIX. b. and get's away with it.

(b) Who is without proper parental care or control, subsistence, education as required by law, or other care or control necessary for his physical, mental, or emotional health, when it is established that his health has suffered or is very likely to suffer serious impairment; and the deprivation is not due primarily to the lack of financial means of the parents, guardian or custodian; or
