Role of Agency
The Role of Children’s Services:

• Provide services to help children and families.

• Act to protect children who have been abused or neglected, are at risk of harm, or who are dependent.

• Receive and investigate reports of child abuse and neglect as mandated by law.

• Facilitate placement of children who are abused, neglected or dependent and placed in the custody of Miami County Children’s Services by Juvenile Court. Children are placed in least restrictive, most family-like settings, if an alternative placement is needed.
