Contingencies and Clarifications
When appropriate, the SSW should complete the following tasks:
- Notify the child’s attorney that the child may be a victim of female genital mutilation (status offender only);
- Contact other states to request courtesy interviews for identified individuals who may have information relevant to the investigation; and
- Conduct forensic interviews of child victims at the Children's Advocacy Center jointly with law enforcement (KRS 620.040(6)).
