Which organization is not listed as a reporting recipient in the procedures?

• A. Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD)
• B. Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS)
• C. Department of Social Services (DSS)
• D. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)

Answer: (D)

This item tests who is designated to receive child abuse or neglect reports in school procedures. In these procedures, suspected abuse is directed to the agencies responsible for child welfare and immediate safety: typically the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), which handles child protective services, and local law enforcement such as the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) when there are safety concerns. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) handles federal investigations and is not a standard reporting recipient for child welfare reports under these procedures. That’s why the FBI is the correct choice for “not listed”—it isn’t part of the designated reporting recipients in this context. The other organizations are included as recipients or partners in the reporting process.
