Isabella D. v. Dep’t of Children & Families
Annotate this CaseAfter an investigation, the Department of Children and Families found that an alleged perpetrator was responsible for sexual abuse and emotional neglect of Plaintiff and placed the alleged perpetrator’s name on the central registry. After an administrative hearing, the hearing officer found there was insufficient evidence to support the Department’s finding of substantiation and, therefore, removed the alleged perpetrator’s name from the central registry. Plaintiff subsequently requested that the hearing officer reconsider the decision reversing the substantiation finding. The hearing officer denied Plaintiff’s request, finding that Plaintiff lacked standing to seek reconsideration. Plaintiff appealed, and the trial court granted the Department’s motion to dismiss. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial court properly concluded that Plaintiff lacked standing to bring this action.
