TX :: Child Protective Services Handbook :: 4500 Interstate Placements :: 4515.21 When Texas ICPC Receives Notification of Alleged Abuse, Neglect, or Exploitation of a Child Placed in Another State

When a child in DFPS custody is placed in the receiving state and the receiving state’s compact office notifies Texas ICPC that the child is an alleged victim of abuse, neglect or exploitation, Texas ICPC must do all of the following:

  • Notify the child’s DFPS or SSCC caseworker, supervisor, program director, and the regional director about the allegations on the same business day Texas ICPC receives the notification. If the child is placed in a licensed or verified out-of-state foster home and the other state is not investigating or coded the allegation as their equivalent to a Priority None, then Texas ICPC includes the RCCI supervisors in the notification.
  • Report the information received from the receiving state’s compact office to Statewide Intake on the same business day Texas ICPC receives notification from the receiving state’s compact office.
  • Enter the abuse neglect notification into the child’s 100B in IMPACT.
