My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of:New York.
What do I need to keep my job with kids if I have child neglect on my records from 10 years ago.

Um...want to try again? This makes no sense.
I'm going to assume that you don't dispute that the finding was substantiated. The record will be maintained on the registry until the youngest child listed reaches the age of 28. For earlier removal you need to petition the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) to seal your record. You may submit additional information along with your petition; if you do not, the OCFS will look only at the records they already possess relating to the finding. You should obtain and review all of the OCFS records pertaining to your case before petitioning, and should consider looking for a lawyer who is experienced with this type of petition.
