STATISTICS — INTRODUCTIONThe Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) is charged with the responsibility of promptly investigating or assessing all accepted reports of alleged child abuse and neglect by the person responsible for the child’s care. Persons responsible for the care of children are parents, guardians, custodians, foster parents, any other adults living in the home of the child, and operators, owners, or employees of child care facilities or homes. DHS is further charged with maintaining a record of the investigation findings and assessment conclusions. Reports of all investigations are forwarded to the district attorney with recommendations for disposition.

DHS Child Welfare staff work to provide maximum safety for children and to enable families to remain together, if at all possible. The majority of families that are identified through a report of abuse or neglect can be assisted through services from either community agencies or, if appropriate, through voluntary services from DHS. In serious cases of abuse or neglect, however, court intervention and removal of the children from their homes may be necessary. Removal of a child from his or her home can occur either through a court order or, in the case of an emergency, by law enforcement. DHS Child Welfare staff does not have the authority to remove children from their homes.

This statistical document for state fiscal year 2019 (July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019) reflects data on child abuse and neglect reports received and accepted for investigation. Also included in this document is an alternative category of response to reports, the assessment. Assessments are conducted when the allegation of abuse or neglect does not constitute a serious or immediate threat to a child’s health or safety. Investigations are conducted when the report contains allegations of serious threats to the alleged child victim’s safety.

This statistical document reflects the findings categories that are possible once an investigation has been completed.

• A finding of substantiated means the Department has determined, after an investigation of a report of child abuse or neglect and based upon some credible evidence, that child abuse or neglect has occurred.

• A finding of unsubstantiated means the Department has determined, after an investigation of a report of child abuse or neglect, that insufficient evidence exists to fully determine whether child abuse or neglect has occurred.

• A finding of ruled out means a report in which a child protective services specialist has determined, after an investigation of a report of child abuse or neglect, that no child abuse or neglect has occurred.

STATISTICS 1

• A finding of failure to cooperate means the person responsible for the child’s health, safety, or welfare (PRFC) does not cooperate in an assessment or investigation by refusing to allow access to the child victim for observation and an interview.

• A finding of reasonable parental discipline means that the person responsible for a child used ordinary force and age-appropriate reasonable discipline. This finding results in expungement of record of the referral and assessment or investigation. Investigations of deaths typically take over a year to complete due to their complicated nature and necessity in waiting for certain information from other entities. Thus, including the death statistics significantly delays the production of this entire statistical document. It is for this reason that a separate statistical document pertaining solely to child deaths and near deaths will be produced later as an addendum to this report.

DHS received 81,249 reports on families and determined after screening that 36,138 reports had allegations that met the definition of abuse and neglect and required investigation or assessment. There were 63,956 children for whom an investigation was completed and a finding made.There were 1,708 children for whom an assessment was completed. Findings are not madein assessments.

REPORTS4

REPORTSThe following table details the number of reports received and screened, by county, during fiscal year 2019. Each report is screened to assure that it meets the statutory definition of abuse and neglect and that it is within the legal scope of DHS. Once a report is accepted, an investigation or assessment is completed on behalf of each alleged child victim identified in the report. A report may have only one identified child victim or there may be multiple identified child victims. During fiscal year 2019 there were 81,249 reports received and screened. After screening, 36,138 reports were accepted for investigation or assessment.
