THE TEXAS FAMILY CODE 261.101 Requires ALL professionals to make a report within 48 hours of first suspecting abuse, neglect or exploitation of children. TheHuman Resources code Chapter 48 (48.051) requires a person having cause to believe that an elderly or disabled person is in the state of abuse, neglect, or exploitation to report the information required immediately. (b) If a professional has cause to believe that a child has been abused or neglected or may be abused or neglected, or that a child is a victim of an offense under Section 21.11, Penal Code, and the professional has cause to believe that the child has been abused as defined by Section 261.001 or 261.401, the professional shall make a report not later than the 48th hour after the hour the professional first suspects that the child has been or may be abused or neglected or is a victim of an offense under Section 21.11, Penal Code. A professional may not delegate to or rely on another person to make the report. In this subsection, professional means an individual who is licensed or certified by the state or who is an employee of a facility licensed, certified, or operated by the state and who, in the normal course of official duties or duties for which a license or certification is required, has direct contact with children. The term includes teachers, nurses, doctors, day-care employees, employees of a clinic or health care facility that provides reproductive services, juvenile probation officers, and juvenile detention or correctional officers. (c) The requirement to report under this section applies without exception to an individual whose personal communications may otherwise be privileged, including an attorney, a member of the clergy, a medical practitioner, a social worker, a mental health professional, an employee or member of a board that licenses or certifies a professional, and an employee of a clinic or health care facility that provides reproductive services. The following video is a CPS interview where my son discussed being held down in states care!!!!! THEN WHY HASNT TX SOCIAL WORKER CALEY CROY, KINDRA BROWN,AND SUPERVISORS NINFA TORRES,LINDA ERLANSON AND TONYA GILLEY AND ATTORNEY DAVID BARKLEY BEEN PROCESUTED? The following email went out October 24,2013 @ 4:12 p.m. to Mr David Barkley:CPS attorney Cc:Mr.Rob Ward: childrens attorney...Kindra Brown CPS Mr. Barkley: Justin is again threatening to run away from the foster placement. Mrs. Cook has brought this to CPS attention innumerable times, only to have her concerns dismissed and for her to be ordered not to communicate with the person supervising her visits. Justin continues to be punished by the foster placement for relaying any of his complaints to Mrs. Cooks. Quite frankly, I fear for the childrens safety if they continue in CPS care. If these concerns are not addressed immediately, I will file an appropriate motion with the court and bring these concerns to the judges attention. Patrick Barkman
