“Let me refer the distinguished gentleman to the report on page 11 where it notes about halfway down the page that each of the four exceptions, and the second one, there is the same one the gentleman has stated that is in the proposed law, each of these four exceptions involves specific individual circumstances in order to be triggered. The criminal investigation or adjudication requires a specific investigation or adjudication. An inquiry can be made pursuant to a reasonable concern for the health, safety, and welfare of an individual. The essential requirement is a reasonable belief that an individual minor is at risk and evidence to show that such an inquiry is appropriate. Using the health, safety, or welfare exception to circumvent parental concern or prohibited topics is not acceptable. In other words, it says here, a survey on sexual behavior or attitudes would not be covered by this exception. Obviously, the questions can be asked if the parent gives consent.”
