Section 110-40-0020 - Who may receive FRS services?(1) DCYF provides FRS to adolescents twelve through seventeen years old and their families, in instances where adolescents have runaway or are otherwise in conflict with their families. These populations are defined as follows: "Families in conflict" means families in which personal or family situations present a serious and imminent threat to the health or stability of the child, which may include an at-risk youth, or family.
"Runaways" means youths who are absent from home for a period of time without parental permission. Services are to actual runaways and not to threatened runaways, unless the threatened runaways meet the definition of families in conflict.
(2) FRS is not provided for any of the following situations, unless the family is seeking an at-risk youth (ARY) or a child-in-need-of-services (CHINS) family assessment: (a) Chronic or long-term multiproblem situations requiring long-term interventions;(b) Custody and marital disputes unless the dispute creates a conflict between the child and parent with physical custody;(c) Families currently receiving counseling services related to the parent-child conflict/relationship from other agencies;(d) Child abuse and neglect cases, unless those cases meet the definition of family in conflict; or(e) Youth receiving foster care or group care services or follow up to those services.Wash.
