Overview
This bill amends New Jersey’s laws regarding child abuse and neglect by expanding the definition of these terms. Specifically, it now includes instances where abuse or neglect is perpetrated by individuals other than a child’s parent or legal guardian, such as another child under the age of 18. The changes aim to broaden the scope of protection for vulnerable children by recognizing a wider range of potential abusers and neglectful situations.
