Provides that the Department of Children and Family Services may offer services to any child or family with respect to whom a report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been called in to the hotline after completion of a family assessment and the Department has determined that services are needed to address the safety of the child and other family members and the risk of subsequent maltreatment.
