United States Fourth Circuit
Wolf v. Fauquier County Bd. of Supervisors, 072022
In a case involving the reporting and investigation of suspected child abuse, grant of summary judgment in favor of private and public defendants is affirmed where the state, in designing its child abuse reporting scheme and its social services apparatus, decided the costs of an occasional mistaken report were far less than the costs of lasting harm to the lives and safety of young children.
