Staff decided to seek clarifying collateral knowledge when sources of information presented conflicting perspectives regarding the safety and risk regarding the bio father harming a child in the state of WI.  Considering the preferred preference is to place children with parents, as well as to engage fathers, the staff needed time to resolve and clarify the goal conflict between prioritizing engaging the non-custodial father and erroring on the side of safety to ensure child protection by not allowing contact. However, the immediacy of the placement did not allow for time, and during a background check the staff found criminal charges about the non-custodial father harming a child in the state of Wisconsin, yet the extent of the harm was not known and caregivers' statements regarding the Wisconsin charges suggested contact would be okay, and they did not have safety concerns for the non-custodial father being considered as a placement preference.","created_by":81,"updated_by":81,"updated_at":"5\/26\/2021 10:36:19 am","created_at":"5\/26\/2021 10:36:19 am","id":28174}
