J.S. v. Fresno County Dept. of Social Services CA2
Fifteen-year-old G.K. (daughter) reported that on one occasion her father, J.S. (father), laid on top of her, tried to kiss her on the mouth and grabbed her butt. The Fresno County Department of Social Services (Department) concluded the report was “substantiated” and submitted it to the California Department of Justice for inclusion in the Child Abuse Central Index (CACI) under the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act (CANRA) (Pen. Code, § 11164 et seq.). Father, who represented himself throughout these proceedings, unsuccessfully sought relief by an administrative appeal and a petition for administrative mandamus in superior court.
