Introduced by: Bryce E. Reeves | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Alleged child abuse or neglect; authority to talk to child or sibling. Limits the authority of a person required to make a report or conduct an investigation or family assessment in cases of alleged child abuse or neglect to talk to a child or his sibling without the consent or presence of the child's or sibling's parent, guardian, legal custodian, or other person standing in loco parentis to cases in which the child has been taken into emergency custody. The bill establishes a procedure whereby a person required to conduct an investigation or family assessment may seek a court order for the parent, guardian, legal custodian, or person standing in loco parentis to produce the child suspected of being abused or neglected or his sibling for the purpose of an interview in cases in which the child has not been taken into emergency custody.
