Notify the ACS instant response team whenever which conditions occur?

• A. A child is removed from a household by police; or an arrest is made in connection with the abuse or neglect of a child
• B. A child graduates from middle school
• C. A child turns 18
• D. A child is late for school

Answer: (A)

The key idea is urgent involvement from child protective services when there is immediate risk to a child. If police remove a child from a home or if an arrest is made in connection with abuse or neglect, that signals potential ongoing danger and the need for a rapid ACS response to assess safety, arrange appropriate placements or services, and begin protective action. Other events like graduation, turning 18, or being late for school don’t inherently indicate abuse or imminent risk, so they don’t require the instant ACS team to respond.
