In wake of Manchester toddler’s death, officials call for changing laws regarding records
In wake of Manchester toddler’s death, officials call for changing laws regarding records - Political Monitor:
As the state reviews its policies to keep children safe following the recent death of a Manchester toddler, Attorney General Joe Foster says some state laws prevent the sharing of child abuse and neglect records.
My Comment:
According to:https://www.childwelfare.gov/pubPDFs/confide.pdf It sounds to me that the Police should already be notified.
Disclosure of Confidential Child Abuse and
Neglect Records Persons or Entities Allowed Access to Records
Rev. Stat. § 170-G:8-a
The department shall provide access to the case records to the following persons unless the commissioner determines
that the harm to the child named in the case record resulting from the disclosure outweighs the need for the disclosure
presented by the person requesting access:.......
• A grand jury when it is necessary in the conduct of its official business
• Another State’s child welfare agency, law enforcement agency, or other government entity that requires the
information in order to carry out its responsibility under law to protect children from abuse or neglect
• A law enforcement official who reasonably suspects that a child may be abused or neglected and who is
participating with the department in a joint investigation
• A State official who is responsible for the provision of services to children and families
• A legislative official who has been granted specific responsibility for oversight of legislation related to the
provision of services to children and families
Also, according to: https://www.childwelfare.gov/pubPDFs/registry.pdf
When Records Must Be Expunged
Rev. Stat. § 169-C:35-a
Founded Reports of Abuse and neglect, are kept by the Dept. for seven years and then are supposed to be destroyed.
Unfounded Reports of Abuse and Neglect are supposed to be kept for three years.
Also, if a parent is accused of abuse and/or neglect and is hauled into Family Court, ANY and ALL Unfounded reports from the past WILL and definitely DOES go against them. At least in New Hampshire it does, which doesn't seem right to me.
