Abandoned Infant Protect Act and Social Services/Family Court Act
The AIPA does not change the laws pertaining to child abuse and maltreatment under current New York State legal requirements. Persons who abandon infants under AIPA will still be indicated as subjects of child maltreatment reports and may still have petitions for child neglect brought against them in family court.
Mandated reporters who have any questions about the Abandoned Infant Protection Act should contact the AIPA Informational Hotline operated by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) at 1-866-505-SAFE, or the OCFA Public Information Office at 518-473-7793.
