Policy
After the initial notification, the investigator must attempt to maintain contact with the child’s CPS caseworker if the child is listed as an alleged victim in order to:
a. obtain additional information about the child, including the child’s history of abuse or neglect, behavioral patterns, and any other information that provides insight into the investigation;
b. share information with the CPS caseworker about the status of the investigation, including any concerns the investigator may have with the child’s placement and detailed information regarding incidents of child-on-child abuse; and
c. obtain assistance with acquiring the child’s medical records from a doctor’s office or hospital, if necessary.
