The decisions made during the screening of this case were done in consultation with one another. The first call about the subject child's condition came from the Father of the children, who reported allegations of inadequate supervision and medical neglect.  The Father had made allegations that his girlfriend was using drugs and that had left a child on his own while out selling drugs. The Father had reported that the hospital was going to make a report of medical neglect, but the screener said the report was not received. \r\n\r\nThe screeners initial impression was that this case was one of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153back and forth retaliation\u00e2\u20ac\u009d between the parents.  Consultation occurred with the other screeners and with law enforcement who was with the subject child's mother at the hospital.  They also believed this to be a report made out of retaliation which supported the decision to screen the report out.  \r\n\r\nFurther influencing the decision to screen the report out, was that the report did not have any documentation which supported the medical neglect or the inadequate supervision. \r\n\r\nThe screener also stated that they generally have some discretion with taking allegations of medical neglect and following up of medical providers, but that they do rely on medical documentation when screening the report. If they do have unanswered questions, they can follow up with either extended screening (health and welfare checks or follow up with reporters and professionals). In this situation, due to the impression that this was a divorce\/retaliation situation, they did not follow up with the medical provider.","created_by":81,"updated_by":81,"updated_at":"5\/26\/2021 11:46:38 am","created_at":"5\/26\/2021 11:46:38 am","id":31345}
