Section 707.555 - Can a case initially assigned for an alternative response be conducted as an investigation?

Yes. We may, in our sole discretion, at any time route a case that is assigned for and otherwise appears to meet the criteria for alternative response to be conducted as a thorough investigation. A non-exhaustive list of the factors we may consider in deciding to change a case from an alternative response to an investigation includes:

(1) inability to assess the safety of the child who is the subject of the report;

(2) inability to locate or reach the family;

(3) increased risk of abuse or neglect; or

(4) a change in household composition.
