Dear Ms. Carlson,
Agency Cumberland County Children and Youth Services has completed
Administrator
Gary I. Shuey, MSW, LSW our initial screening and determined that neither an Agency assessment nor
an investigation are warranted at this time. Based on the home visit
conducted on 9-22-05 and my contact with collateral sources, the
allegations related to Gabriel not being properly supervised were
unsubstantiated.
In addition to the parenting skills that you demonstrated throughout
county the visit, I was impressed by your parents' willingness to be supportive
commissioners and to serve as resources to you and Gabriel. Gabriel appeared to be
Bruce Barclay
Gary Eicheiberger happy, safe, and content in your care and there were clearly no
Richard Rovegno environmental hazards or conditions with your current housing
arrangements.
Thank you for your cooperation with this matter. If you should have
any future questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
