Getting off the State Registry(of child abusers)The first step is going through the appeal process and obtaining a determination of unfounded, unindicated or unsubstantiated. One is placed upon the Registry as a first step upon a substantiated finding from the outcome of a child abuse investigation. Please see: for a description of what happens. We find it to be unconstitutional and a judge has ruled it to be so and the appealed ruling was upheld.The following is input from Group in the quest to get our names expunged from the Central Registry (SACWIS) or Central Index. Even though found unsubstantiated, unindicated and unfounded, many times our record still remains. Another section “Central Registry Expunction of Records by State” lists the statutes regarding this expunction.Also, please see “Components of a Caseworker’s File,” a work in progress in obtaining case records.With a Registry record, one can be fired from and/or not obtain a caregiver job. One lady I know, who has an indicated finding and is on the Central Index of CA is not allowed to drive a school bus, anymore, because she is in contact with children. There is work being conducted in Group with regard to the Central Registry and placement on it being a violation of our Constitutional Rights as it occurs without due process of law.

They get a court order for expungement of records & then the attorney does a background check to see if it were done or they do one first and get court-ordered expungement of anything that is seen. All is done in writing -- no appearance.New York State Central Registry (highlight inserted)…Virginia's Automated Case Information System (VACIS): VACIS was the child welfare agency's administrative system for foster care cases until November 1997. At that time, information was transferred to the agency's new MIS - OASIS described below. Child welfare information managers report that information from VACIS is still available and provides a detailed account of case activities and dates of key case events. However, the system uses a comparatively rare language -"Mapper" - and only a small number of state staff can still access the automated records. The ongoing availability of this data source will need to be monitored due to the state budget reductions. Child Abuse and Neglect Information System (CANIS): CANIS was the child welfare agency's administrative system for cases investigated due to allegations of abuse or neglect. Information on open cases was transferred to OASIS in July 1999. System officials in Fairfax emphasized that neither this system nor paper files will contain a full record of abuse and neglect allegations and findings due to state regulations on expunging files effective in 1995. Since that time, information on unfounded allegations is to be purged one year after the incident if no other incident is reported. Depending on the severity of the level of risk established during the investigation, information on founded allegations is to be purged between 3 to 18 years after the incident.OASIS: OASIS came on line in November 1997 and was designed to consolidate all child welfare cases into one data base. State and local administrative and casework staff reported that the system faced a series of administrative and programming challenges for the first several years of operation. Reportedly, caseworkers and clerks found data entry to be very difficult and time consuming relative to the older system. In addition, quality control measures were obstructed by challenges in producing reports. Line staff reported that data on cases entering the system in the past two years is reliable - but encouraged the study team to use paper records to gather case level data prior to that time.Child Welfare Case Records: Casework supervisors and staff in Fairfax reported that case records were the best source of consistent and reliable information on reason for placement, service referrals and receipt, reason for case closure and type of permanent placement. The foster care plan would be the best source for this information in the file. The plan is updated every six months and includes each of these data elements except date custody was transferred and permanent placement at case closure. These data elements should be recorded at the end of the case notes. The study team was cautioned however, that case records, especially in Fairfax, are very detailed. It took state staff, familiar with the records and forms an average of eight hours to review each record during the state's trial runs for the Child and Family Services Review. CaliforniaBelow is a way you can find out if you are on the child abuse central index. God bless, Barb2. How do I find out if I have a Child Abuse report on file? {This is known as a Citizen Inquiry. It allows all individuals to know if his/her name appears on the Child Abuse Central Index [P.C. § 11170.(e)]} Answer: Send a brief letter asking if your name is on the Child Abuse Central Index, list all the names you have used include dates of birth, social security number, driver's license number, and have the signature notarized and send to DOJ. If your name matches with a name in CACI you will be notified of the confirmation within 60 days. Send the letter to the address listed in Question #3.If an individual is listed as a suspect on the CACI, that person's name can be removed upon direction by the reporting agency.3. I was listed only as a victim of child abuse. Now that I am 18, can my name be removed from the Index?Answer: Yes, you should send a notarized letter including your name, address, social security number, and date of birth to DOJ requesting that your name be removed. [P.C. § 11170(f)] Send correspondence to: California Department of JusticeBureau of Criminal Information and AnalysisChild Protection ProgramP. O. Box 903387Sacramento, CA 94203-38704. Recently, I went to court on a child abuse case and was found innocent due to an unsubstantiated report, why is my name still on the CACI?Answer: Because the reporting agency reported it to DOJ as "not unfounded" and the law states it has to be reported. Efforts to have your name removed should be directed to the reporting agency.--- In fosterparentallegat ions@yahoogroups .com, lulu <ljnmsr@...> wrote:Vicki, Yes I guess I do have the right to know if my name is on there. However after reading another post-that states-you can't get it taken off and someone else said it costs $10 grand. What would be the point? It would only make me sad knowing they can get away with it. over and over and over.I could never find an attorney for my hearing over a year ago. I was told in Calif-it's tough to find anyone to go with you to one and this attorney also stated to me-that no one ever wins. She also said-they'll call you and open your home again when they need your beds. On all of my paperwork it states :we have a right to change our minds at any time". How convienent for them! So I told God "I'll spend my $ on the kids but not on fighting social wrekers that have no kids of their own and are willing to wreck your home and tell you how to parent".Yes, I too thought that paper was meant for someone else and I told them so. I went in that hearing believing God would prevail but no one was listening to me. It's like I wasn't even there. I just had my fingerprints run, and that's considered a background check, statewide, called here BCI, Bureau of Criminal Investigations. Mine came back cleared, even though I've been charged, never went to court, but served official papers, in regards to false allegations, hence me coming to this great support group. All I had to do for that background check was go to the lady I know at the school, and she has the program to run the prints from her computer there, and it's sent off to BCI, and then comes back. Maybe someone from the school can run them for you? Everyone who works in the schools here are required to do the BCI and FBI, it might be worth a try? Also here, the BCI, and FBI fingerprints are separate from the Child Abuse and Neglect Registry here. I can not get a copy of my report by calling or anything, but I could if sent them a request, then they would mail me a copy of what's on there. I know what CPS did to us, and I know I am on there for sure. It burns me to even think about that. I shouldn't be on there, and they know it, and I know it, and yet it is....so unfair and unconstitutional. Take care and God bless,Joy from OHOn background checks to see if your name comes up on the Registry:--- Sue Rickerson <petloverfour@ > wrote:No, I had asked that five yrs ago, to do a polograph and or a voice detector and I was told no. Today I went to the sheriff's department in my county (already knowing nothing would come up) they ran my name and said there was nothing under my name, I asked if I could get that in writing or on some type of letter and their concern was that I had something to worry about. I was given a computer printout with my name, BD, SS and drivers license number. That is it but it is only for the county I live in.Susan Marsh <marshnmarsh@ > wrote: I have considered going to the sheriff’s department to have a back ground check ran but not sure how to go about it and if I do, should I put down that I am considering doing child care? What would be my bases for wanting a back ground check and could I get it on my own or do I need an employer to do this? Does it seem strange to anyone else that anyone: employer, school, 4H, scouts, county can get background checks on us but we can't do one on ourselves? Someone here locally told me recently that she went to the sheriff department and ask if she could do a life scan (have her fingerprints run) she was told no, that she needed an order from some business or organization to get the search done. When she asked why she couldn't check her own the deputy told her that if there wasn't a company then they did not know where to send the results. After a moment of thought the lady said can't you just send them to me? and the deputy said Oh no, we can't do that. WHY??????
