| The... CPS/CAS worker shall complete a full protection investigation, document that investigation, and make decision, about whether protection concerns are verified, within (30)days, after the referral, report information is received. |
| In... exceptional circumstances only - and - with supervisory consultation -and- approval, further steps may be required beyond the (30) days, to complete the investigation -and- make such a decision. In this event " Risk Decision # 4 " shall be made as soon as possible - and - no later than (60) days after receipt of the referral, report, information. |
| SUMMARY : |
| There are... several very important aspects, to remember, as you peruse the following pages, about the details, of any investigations, conducted by CPS/CAS workers. First of all, under, mandates of law you may demand a copy, of any printed; material, documentation, forms - and/or - information, that may have been gathered, recorded -and/or- collected about you, during the course of their investigation. You may have to get a lawyer to file a, "motion for discovery", or some other legal platform, to get these, but you should have them, to comprehend what their claims are against you - and - prepare, for an adequate -and- proper defense. This material may very well exclude information, regarding the person, who made the initial; referral, report, information, as they may wish, to exercise their "right", to remain anonimous. But the rest of the material, must be detailed - and - documented - and - you are intitled to a copy. |
| Too often... people do not realize the significance, of signing a, Release of information. They feel they have nothing to hide -and- therefore, nothing to be afraid of. But be afraid... be very afraid... What may seem incidental, insignificant - and/or - irrelevant, to you, may very well provide CPS/CAS workers with just enough materiral, to warrant further, detailed investigation - and - the start of much a do, about nothing, all over again - and - again - and - again.... |
| People... from all walks of life, who have been convicted of everything from murder to having a bad credit rating have been granted the opportunity to start again, once they have totally satisfied the punitive aspects of their situation. However, once you've been convicted of abuse/neglect, the CPS/CAS agency in your area, will maintain a file on you, for life... |
