There are two primary classes of cases against juveniles: public offenses and status cases.

In Kentucky, cases involving child abuse initiated in Family Court are called "DNA" actions, which stands for "Dependent, Neglected or Abused."
When an act of child abuse is reported to the Cabinet for Health and Family Services or to law enforcement, investigative workers from the county office will begin an investigation.
The goal of the Fayette County Attorney's office is to ensure that children are properly protected and cared for.
DNA proceedings are not criminal proceedings, so a parent cannot be incarcerated or fined as a result.
