Georgia's new child abuse registry

On July 1, 2016, Georgia implemented a new Child Abuse Registry, a database that contains the names of individuals who have been substantiated by DFCS for child abuse or neglect. Individuals whose names have been included in the Child Abuse Registry may appeal to the Office of State Administrative Hearings to be removed from the registry. Here is a paper I wrote giving basic information about the child abuse registry to attorneys interested handling these appeals.
