What does a Child Protection Warrant direct law enforcement officials to do?

  1. Issue citations to neglectful parents

  2. Provide counseling to at-risk families

  3. Take the juvenile named in the warrant into protective custody

  4. Enforce supervised visitation between children and parents

The correct answer is: Take the juvenile named in the warrant into protective custody

A Child Protection Warrant directs law enforcement officials to take the juvenile named in the warrant into protective custody. This action is typically taken when urgent intervention is required to ensure the safety and well-being of a child who is at risk of harm or neglect. It is different from issuing citations to neglectful parents (Option A), providing counseling to at-risk families (Option B), or enforcing supervised visitation between children and parents (Option D), as the primary focus of the warrant is to remove the child from a dangerous situation and place them in protective custody pending further legal proceedings or interventions.
