The goal of the Disabled Infants Project was to develop and implement a plan for updating child protective services in Texas to assure the protection of infants as required by the Child Abuse Amendments of 1984. As a result of the project, the Texas Department of Human Services has in place both policy and mechanisms which guide and enable response to reports of medical neglect of disabled infants with life-threatening conditions. Additionally, the project (1) determined that necessary laws and rules were in place, (2) utilized regional liaisons to ensure that all direct delivery child protective services staff were familiar with the procedures for handling reports alleging medical neglect of disabled, at-risk infants, (3) provided staff training on "Baby Doe" regulations, (4) obtained names from hospitals for contact regarding complaints about the withholding of medical treatment, (5) shared with hospitals the department's written procedures for conducting investigations of allegations of medical neglect, (6) answered inquiries about the regulations from hospital administrators, and (7) served as a catalyst for the development of four medical neglect demonstration projects. No cases involving allegations against medical professionals were reported during the project year. (RH)
