BM just called and told me the results of a dr. appt. for my son. There is a private issue involved. She told me that the dr. informed her that they would have to 'notify' DHS. I asked if they were filing a report and she said that they were only 'notifying' them to protect both parents from false allegations.
I don't understand the difference???? How is 'notifying' DHS different than filing a report. Won't there still be a paper trail of some sort?
Anybody have any experience with this?
I know for schools, we can call and tell them whatever it is and then they make the determination on what to do. I would think that DHS will look into it and see if it warrants a report. Maybe it is something that they just will keep track of in case it involves something else down the line (?)
