Bill summary

Amends the definition of neglected juvenile under GS 7B-101, so that it is not considered neglect of a juvenile if a parent, guardian, custodian, or caretaker allows the juvenile to engage in independent activities, including those described, without adult supervision if a reasonable and prudent parent would consider the independent activity safe and appropriate based on the juvenile's age, maturity, and physical and mental abilities.
