Narrative #1: The agency did their routine criminal history checks in intake using MNCIS, which further supported the agency being unaware of the father's history because he was not charged, therefore this information was not in MNCIS leading the staff to believe that the father had no prior history.

Narrative #2: there was no discussion of licensing father #2 for the non-biological child in his care or North Star funding because the worker didn't think this was possible since father #2 was undocumented and didn't qualify for a lot of resources.  Additionally, Father #2 was also not requesting any financial assistance for any of the children in his care which further supported not pursing father #2 being licensed. 

Narrative #3: Supporting the transfer of legal custody (TLC) to a caregiver during an open investigation regarding that caregiver was the fact that the worker was unaware of the current open investigation.  This was influenced by the many reports made by the mother against the father that had previously been unfounded.  This supported the worker to believe that an investigation resulting from these reports would not be opened for an investigation. 

Narrative #4: Supporting the prior CP history and criminal history not being documented in subsequent investigations as required by the local agency's process was the fact that the worker's focus on this case was on getting mom, who was using and pregnant, into treatment, which was the identified priority in this case.  As a result, she did not focus on looking into father #2's history.
