Mr. Fred McBride:

That is a difficult question. If information came to us from the outside, we would normally take it as it stood. We would speak to families and, in following due process, alleged perpetrators. Trying to determine the veracity of the allegation is a part of our job. If someone deliberately created malicious information and sent it to us, discovering it immediately could be difficult. Even if we reviewed the intake records in the process that I described, we would have to accept the information that was given until we could get into the detail of the referral and had reason to doubt it.
