Form Ldss 2221A PDF Details

At the core of child welfare in New York State lies the LDSS-2221A form, a critical document tasked with the reporting of suspected child abuse or maltreatment. This form, updated in September 2016, serves as a primary tool for mandated reporters - individuals required by law to report instances of suspected child abuse or maltreatment. It meticulously records the details surrounding suspicions of abuse, including the children and adults involved, the specific nature of the alleged abuse or maltreatment, and the contact information of the reporter. The LDSS-2221A form is instrumental in initiating the investigatory process, ensuring that the relevant social services entities are alerted to potential harm towards a child or children. The form's design to list all individuals in the household, their relationships, and detailed suspicions underscores its comprehensive approach towards safeguarding children's welfare. Additionally, it highlights actions taken or required, such as medical examinations, hospitalizations, and notifications to law enforcement or district attorneys, thus encapsulating a multifaceted approach to addressing and preventing child maltreatment. As a key component of New York State's Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) protocols, the form not only facilitates prompt investigation and intervention but also embodies the state's commitment to protecting its most vulnerable citizens from harm.

A “maltreated child” is a child under eighteen years of age whose physical, mental or emotional condition has been impaired or is in imminent danger of becoming impaired as a result of the failure of his parent or other person legally responsible for his care to exercise a minimum degree of care:

1)in supplying the child with adequate food, clothing, shelter, education, medical or surgical care, though financially able to do so or offered financial or other reasonable means to do so; or

2)in providing the child with proper supervision or guardianship; or

3)by unreasonably inflicting, or allowing to be inflicted, harm or a substantial risk thereof, including the infliction of excessive corporal punishment; or

4)by misusing a drug or drugs; or

5)by misusing alcoholic beverages to the extent that he loses self-control of his actions; or
