Guest guest Posted January 22, 2000 Report Share Posted January 22, 2000 Law enforcement can't be left completely out of the loop because it is potentially a criminal case. This doesn't make sense. EMS should be able to transfer possession of the child to law enforcement officials until CPS gets there. Although I have not read the law that would only makes sense unless the child needs to be transported to the ER. Melody ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oops. I hit the send button before I was through with the message below. One more point--my understanding is that the EMS provider is to maintain custody of the child until the department of protective and regulatory services assumes custody. Even law enforcement is left out of the loop. Maxine In a message dated 01/22/00 5:22:23 PM Central Standard Time, LPate@... writes: << Your comments bring up other points. Who is responsible for expenses incurred while the EMS provider has possession of the child (such as a trip to the hospital and examination by a physician)? Not all people we treat need to go to the hospital--even if the baby appeared to be in good health, would you still take him/her to the hospital? >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
