When investigating a report that a child is living with or participating in unsupervised visits with a registered sex offender, the Family Service Worker will:
- (1) Determine if a court has granted custody or unsupervised visitation to the registered sex offender;
- (2) When a court has granted custody rights or unsupervised visitation to a registered sex offender, the FSW must obtain a copy of the court order or divorce decree, and must designate the case as “UN-SUBSTANTIATED”, if no other allegations have been made regarding the offender and the children and the report is simply based on the mere fact the offender is a registered sex offender; and
(3)
- (A) Document the investigative determination and the individual findings for each child on the “Investigation Findings” screen in CHRIS.
- (B) Individual findings for each victim are also documented on the “Investigation Finding” screen.
- (C) CHRIS will automatically populate the overall finding (true, unsubstantiated, exempted from finding due to religious exemption, or exempted from finding underage juvenile offender) based on the individual findings.
