I have a second question relating to a false accusation. Mr. Quinlan said that Tusla initially creates a file. There is a vetting process and it moves to the next stage. When Tusla is vetting those files at the initial stage, obviously it is vetting them in regard to risk or immediate risk to a child, which I totally get. Are there any control mechanisms in place to assess the risk of false allegations, or are these files just allowed to sit?
