A TPR being filed in lieu of a CHIPS petition with compelling reason was influenced by the analysis of the critical incident. The analysis of the critical incident was impacted by the fact that criminal charges were filed against both parents, and also factors that the county attorney's office considers when filing a TPR versus a CHIPS with compelling reasons. There is a threshold that needs to be met in order for a CHIPS with compelling reasons to be filed by the county attorney's office rather than a TPR. In this case, from the county attorney's perspective, that threshold was not met. There was an egregious harm maltreatment finding in this case and it supported the county attorney's position to file a TPR as their interpretation of MN Statute regarding a TPR, which states that the child has been subjected to egregious harm as defined in section 260C.007, subd. 14., had been met. Additionally, consultations occurred between social services and the county attorney's office to discuss filing a TPR versus a CHIPS with compelling reasons, which identified differences in what constitutes compelling reasons, which further supported the county attorney's office position to file a TPR. Furthermore, the agency requires approval from two managers, as well as approval from the county attorney for a CHIPS with compelling reasons to be filed.
