What is the focus of an adjudication hearing?

To establish school attendance
To determine if abuse or neglect has occurred
To assess parental income
To evaluate educational progress

The correct answer is: To determine if abuse or neglect has occurred

The focus of an adjudication hearing is to determine if abuse or neglect has occurred. This hearing is a critical component of the child protection process, where evidence is presented, and a judge evaluates the information to make a legal determination regarding the safety and welfare of a child. The outcome of an adjudication hearing can lead to necessary interventions or services needed for the child and family. Other options pertain to different areas of concern but do not align with the primary purpose of an adjudication hearing. For example, establishing school attendance, assessing parental income, or evaluating educational progress all focus on different aspects of a child's life or family situation that are not directly related to the judicial evaluation of alleged abuse or neglect.
