6332 - Establishment of Statewide toll-free telephone number.

     § 6332.  Establishment of Statewide toll-free telephone number.
        (a)  General rule.--The department shall establish a single
     Statewide toll-free telephone number that all persons, whether
     mandated by law or not, may use to report cases of suspected
     child abuse. A county agency shall use the Statewide toll-free
     telephone number for determining the existence of prior founded
     or indicated reports of child abuse in the Statewide central
     register or reports under investigation in the pending complaint
     file.
        (b)  Limitation on use.--A county agency may only request and
     receive information pursuant to this subsection either on its
     own behalf because it has received a report of suspected child
     abuse or on behalf of a physician examining or treating a child
     or on behalf of the director or a person specifically designated
     in writing by the director of any hospital or other medical
     institution where a child is being treated, where the physician
     or the director or a person specifically designated in writing
     by the director suspects the child of being an abused child.
