Indicated Report of Child Abuse • Dismissal of Underlying Criminal Charges • Late Appeal
K.B. In Re: M.B. v. Dept. of Human Serv., PICS Case No. 17-0746 (Pa. Commw. May 1, 2017) Covey, J. (14 pages).
The requirement to appeal from an indicated report of child abuse within 90 days of notice was not stayed or tolled pending disposition of underlying dependency proceedings and criminal charges, since the filing of an appeal was a statutory prerequisite to an automatic stay. Order of the Secretary of Human Services affirmed.
