You have been named in an administrative, civil, judicial proceeding or there is a civil proceeding, stemming from the same allegations as the child abuse or neglect classification being reviewed.
You have been named in an administrative, civil, or judicial proceeding stemming from the same allegations as the child abuse or neglect classification being reviewed and a court has made a finding and therefore, the court’s finding automatically terminates your review process.

Based on DCS policy 14.10, your Formal File Review will be stopped until the final decision of the above proceeding. After the final decision has been made on the above proceeding, you may request that the formal file review be re-opened.

To re-open the review, you must submit a request in writing, within thirty (30) days of entry of the final order by a court or administrative body. A copy of the final order must be sent with your request. Please send to the address on this letterhead.

If you plead guilty or the court/administrative proceedings find that you did commit child neglect or child abuse your file review will be terminated.

If you fail to request reinstatement of the Formal File Review within the proper time frame (or the Formal File is terminated) the previous decision of child abuse/neglect will stand.

Please note that I cannot discuss the specifics of your case with you, however, if you have any questions, please feel free to write me at the above address or call me at: () -.

Sincerely,
