Rule 22 Collection of Data in Foster Care Cases Involving Delinquency or Chins Cases

When a young person is in foster care and also has a delinquency or CHINS (Child in Need of Services) case, the court must keep track of specific information about them. This helps the court and agencies understand what is happening with these kids and make better decisions for them.

The court collects data like the child's name, date of birth, case numbers, and details about their foster care placement. It also tracks court dates, hearings, and any orders made in the case. This information helps connect the dots between the different cases a child may have at the same time.

Keeping this data organized matters because a child in foster care who also has a delinquency or CHINS case needs careful attention from multiple parts of the system. Having accurate records helps judges, lawyers, and agencies work together more effectively for that child.
