If it is alleged that a youth parent in DFPS conservatorship abused or neglected the youth’s own child, the intake specialist bases some parts of the assessment on whether the youth’s child is also in DFPS conservatorship.

The intake specialist looks at the youth’s child’s case history to determine whether the child is in DFPS conservatorship, as follows:

• Youth’s children who are not in DFPS conservatorship, but who have an active SUB stage for placement with the youth, show SUB C-PB in case history.
• Children who are in DFPS conservatorship show SUB REG in case history.

The intake specialist does the following:

• If both the youth parent and the youth’s child are in DFPS conservatorship, then the intake specialist completes one RCCI intake. The youth parent and child are alleged victims of neglectful supervision, and the adult caregiver is the alleged perpetrator.
• If the youth parent is in DFPS conservatorship, but the youth’s child is not, then the intake specialist completes two intakes, as follows:
  • A CPI intake with the youth parent as the alleged perpetrator of abuse or neglect and the youth’s child as the alleged victim. The case name is the name of the youth parent.
  • An RCCI intake with the youth parent’s caregiver as the alleged perpetrator of neglectful supervision and the youth parent as the only alleged victim.

The intake specialist also completes an I&R CVS Caseworker Notification for any child or youth in DFPS conservatorship who is a principal in an intake.
