When a child is adjudicated dependent, it means a court has determined that the child is without proper parental care or control, often due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment. This legal ruling typically leads to the child being placed in the custody of the state or a designated caregiver while efforts are made to ensure the child's safety and well-being. The court may also establish a case plan to address the issues that led to the dependency finding and work toward reunification with the family if possible.
