In which type of hearings does the judge decide if the evidence presented shows that the child was abused, neglected, or dependent?

Arraignment Hearings
Evidentiary Hearings
Interim Hearings
Adjudicatory Hearings

The correct answer is: Adjudicatory Hearings

In adjudicatory hearings, the judge decides if the evidence presented shows that the child was abused, neglected, or dependent. This type of hearing is crucial in the child welfare system as it determines whether the allegations against the child's caregiver are substantiated based on the evidence presented. Arraignment hearings typically occur in criminal cases to inform the defendant of the charges against them and allow them to enter a plea. On the other hand, interim hearings focus on reviewing the progress of case plans and making decisions about the child's placement and services. Evidentiary hearings involve the presentation of evidence to support legal arguments or positions in a case.
