## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Child Protection & Care Proceedings](https://ailawframework.com/practice/child-protection-and-care-proceedings.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Flag names, telephone numbers, email addresses and street addresses that sit in a produced report next to words identifying the person who made the report. Quote the page. Delete nothing. |
| What the lawyer must review | 42 U.S.C. § 5106a(b)(3) provides that nothing in the section restricts a State from refusing to disclose identifying information concerning the individual who initiated a report or complaint alleging suspected child abuse or neglect, except that the State may not refuse disclosure where a court orders it after the court has reviewed, in camera, the State's record of the report or complaint and has found reason to believe that the reporter knowingly made a false report. You decide what is held back and what a court order requires. The flag shows you where to look. |
| Written for | United States |
| Applies to | [Screen produced or subpoenaed care records for reporter identity and identifying details before use](https://ailawframework.com/practice/child-protection-and-care-proceedings/screen-produced-or-subpoenaed-care-records-for-reporter-identity-and-ide.md) |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Flag names, telephone numbers, email addresses and street addresses that sit in a produced report next to words identifying the person who made the report. Quote the page. Delete nothing.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The in-camera finding in § 5106a(b)(3) is the court's. The tool does not decide whether a report was knowingly false.
- State law on reporter identity may differ. Open it before a name is disclosed or redacted.
- A flagged line can be a party, a child or a professional. You sort the hits.
