,section 39.202, F.S. states that the name of the person reporting the child abuse or neglect shall not be
released to any person other than employees of the department responsible for child protective
services, early intervention and prevention services, Healthy Start services, licensing agents, and
domestic violence services. A reporter's name can be released to these individuals without his or her
written consent. Other than that, this law ensures that confidentiality will be maintained for the person
reporting the suspected cases of child abuse and/or neglect.
Section 39.203, F.S. states "any person, official, or institution participating in good faith in any act
authorized or required by Chapter 39, or reporting in good faith any instance of child abuse to any law
enforcement agency, shall be immune from any civil or criminal liability which might otherwise result by
reason of such action."
Describe some guidelines child caregivers should follow if wrongly accused of child abuse or neglect.
The most important thing is to assist the investigators with clearing the report so that they can find out
who is abusing the child.
Don't become defensive.
Cooperate fully and factually with authorities.
Get statements from colleagues about your character.
Know the laws related to abuse and neglect.
Talk to a lawyer to ensure your rights and those of family members.
Remember that protective policies you have put in place, such as your discipline procedures and
incident reports, will help you.
Work with your director and colleagues to handle the impact of the accusation on the school, other
parents, and children.
List three key groups involved in the child protection system and describe their role or responsibility.
• Child Protective Services (CPS) is the designated social service agency (in most communities) to receive
and investigate abuse reports and provide rehabilitation services to children and families with problems
of child maltreatment. The agency is frequently located within larger public or private social service
agencies, or within law enforcement agencies. Child Protective Services provides services that protect
children from abuse and neglect, enforces the statutes on child abuse and neglect prevention, and
initiates the process of protecting the abused from further victimization.
• The Department of Children and Families provides a spectrum of services to preserve and protect the
well-being of children and families.
• Law Enforcement and State Attorney's Offices investigate cases of child abuse and neglect and have
victim advocacy programs to provide information and support through the legal system.
