§ 9.3c Discovery Requests

RCW 13.50 governs the maintenance and release of a

number of records including the ofcial juvenile courtle, the social le, and records of juvenile justice and care

agencies (JJCAs).2

§ 9.1 Accuracy of Records

JJCAs, such as the Department of Social and Health

Services (DSHS) and law enforcement, have a statutory

duty to maintain accurate records. Agencies must take

reasonable steps to secure records and to ensure their

completeness, including actions taken by other agencies

with respect to matters in the le. In particular, in cases

where DSHS has led a petition pursuant to RCW 13.34DSHS is specically directed by statute to “correct or

expunge” any information in its records found by a cour

to be false or inaccurate.

Any person who has reasonable cause to believe that

inaccurate information concerning that person has been

included in JJCA records may make a motion to the court

to have the information corrected or destroyed. The

statute does not specify in what action the motion should

be brought, nor does it provide any further guidance as

to what standards the court should apply in these casesor who has the burden of proof. Presumably, the agency

must provide the court with its rationale for including the

information in the record at which point the court must

decide whether the information is accurate applying a

preponderance of the evidence standard as in any civi

case.

§ 9.2 Release of Records

Additionally, these records are condential and may be

released only pursuant to RCW 13.50.010 and RCW13.50.100.3

§ 9.2a Release to Person Identifed in the Records

Any person who has reasonable cause to believe

information concerning them is included in the records of

a JJCA and who has been denied access to those records

by the agency may make a motion to the court for an order

authorizing access.4 Reasonable notice of the motion must

be served upon all parties to the “original action”5 and to

the agency whose records will be affected by the motion.The statute does not address in what type of underlying

action such a motion should be brought.

The court shall grant the motion to examine the records

unless it nds that in the interest of justice or in the bes

interest of the juvenile the records or parts thereof should

remain condential.7

Although RCW 13.50.100 declares that all information

covered by the statute is condential and releasable only

pursuant to that statute, an adult who is the subject of such

records is not precluded from obtaining and disseminating

his or her own medical or health records contained as part

of the le.8

It appears that the court may, however, imposereasonable limitations on the dissemination of records

pertaining to juveniles under its jurisdiction so long as it

applies the least restrictive means available to achieve the

goal of protecting the child.9

§ 9.2b Release to a Juvenile, Parent(s), or Attorneys

A juvenile, his or her parent, or an attorney for the juvenile

or parent shall, upon request, be given access to all records

and information collected or retained by a JJCA and which

pertain to the juvenile with the following exceptions:10

The agency need not release informationa.

it determines is likely to cause severe

psychological or physical harm to the juvenile

or his or her parents absent a court order

directing release.11 If a court determines

that limited release of the information is

appropriate, the court may specify terms and

conditions for the release.12

If (1) the records pertain to the provision b.of counseling, psychological, psychiatric

or medical services to the juvenile; (2) the

services were voluntarily sought by the

juvenile; and (3) the juvenile has a legal

right to receive those services without the

consent of any other person or agency, then

the information may not be disclosed without

the juvenile’s informed consent. 13

The name and identifying information of any person or

organization who has reported child abuse or neglect may be redacted.14 Redacting “identifying information” is

contextual in nature, and should meet the primary goal of

maintaining the anonymity of the referent. This protection

may be extended even after dependency proceedings are

initiated. For example in In re H.W , 70 Wn. App. 552

854 P.2d 1100 (1993), the court held that DSHS was not

required to release the names or identifying information

of informants in a police report at the shelter care hearing

Stating that “disclosure of sensitive information at this early

stage of the proceeding would likely have the unwanted

effect of discouraging individuals from reporting,” the

court ruled that the parent’s due process rights were noviolated by the redaction. The court did, however, note

that once DSHS “has had an opportunity to conduct an

independent investigation … there should be less reason

to withhold the information “and the father “would be

entitled to additional due process protections.”15

A juvenile or parent denied access to records under RCW

13.50.100(7) may le a motion in juvenile court seeking

access to the records.16 A person making such motion

must give reasonable notice to all parties and to any

agency whose records would be affected by the motion.1

The court must grant the motion for access to the records

unless it nds access may not be permitted pursuant to

RCW 13.50.100(7)(a) or (b).18

§ 9.2c Release to Guardian ad Litem

Except for information exempt from disclosure under

RCW 13.350.100(7), the guardian ad litem in a

dependency case is permitted access to all information

available to the state or supervising agency on the case

In addition, the guardian ad litem may inspect and copyany records pertaining to the child or children involved

in a case maintained by any agency, school organization

division or department of the state, doctor, nurse, or other

health care provider, psychologist, psychiatrist, police

department, or mental health clinic without the consent of

the parent, guardian, or child if the child is under age 13

unless such access is specically prohibited by law.19 This

information may only be subsequently released pursuant

to RCW 13.50.100.20

§ 9.2d Release to Clinic, Hospital, or Agency that hasthe Subject Person under Care or Treatment

The court may permit inspection of records by or release

of information to, any clinic, hospital, or agency which has

the subject person under care or treatment. For children

§ 9.3b Release of Information Concerning Mental

Health Treatment for Minors

Although typically condential, Washington law expressly

permits the release of information pertaining to a minor’s

mental health treatment in the course of a dependency

proceeding.37

§ 9.3c Discovery Requests

Cases adjudicated under RCW 13.34 are civil in nature;

as such, the rules of civil procedure governing discovery

apply in addition to those specic rules mentioned

above.

Caution: DSHS, attorneys, or GALs may ask the court toapprove a placement that DSHS cannot approve becausethey have no ICPC approval. Tis is not appropriate. I Washington courts violate the ICPC and place childrenin another state without approval rom the other state

we leave our children vulnerable and harm the ability outure children to have timely and appropriate placementsin that state. Washington State must keep good relations with the other states, particularly our border statesOne county court does not have the right to harm therelationship that all o Washington must keep with otherstates. While it may be tempting, do not violate the ICPCor the sake o one case.
