DCS director questions agency’s response to Rebekah Baptiste case

Ptak said the agency does have records of the school calling but not all reached the level of an investigation. “Some of the calls the school made are alleging things like the children seem hungry, they are showing up dirty, the children are missing school. So those are not things that the department was statutorily created to investigate,” she said. Ptak said a recently created task force is looking at potential law changes.
