Tar Baby Central Registry Of Abuse and Neglect Needs Its Diapers Changed

The main reason the law was changed was because of a lawsuit where the state would never notify an individual that they were placed on the central registry nor provide opportunity to be removed.

In Michigan, an individual is placed on the child abuse central registry about 48 hours after there is a child protection case validated.  This means, even before the child is removed from the home, even before there are charges filed, before an investigation, far before a conviction or dismissal, one is placed on the central registry, typically without notification.

In Michigan, an individual who is tried and convicted, with opportunity to appeal, of sex crimes must register to be placed on the central registry of sex crimes.

In Michigan, lawmakers refuse to play with the tar baby central registry of abuse and neglect.  It would be destruction of one's political career.

It's not just a sticky issue, it also stinks!
