If a child is found without proper parental care when the county children and youth agency arrives, what type of services are they likely to provide?

When a county children and youth agency arrives to assess a situation where a child is found without proper parental care, they typically provide general protective services. These services are designed to ensure the safety and well-being of the child, which may include assessing the home environment, determining the need for immediate care, and devising a plan to address any safety concerns. General protective services focus on intervention and support rather than immediate medical care or legal action, which is essential in safeguarding children who are at risk due to inadequate parental care.

Educational services and emergency medical services may be important in different contexts, but they are not the primary focus when addressing issues of child neglect or lack of supervision. Legal services could play a role later, particularly if there are ongoing concerns or if court intervention becomes necessary, but initially, the agency's role is to intervene and protect the child's immediate welfare through general protective services.
