Yes, there is a way to challenge your listing on the Child Abuse Central Index now even though you just discovered you were on the list.

Pursuant to the terms of the Gomez v. Saenz settlement that took place in 2007, individuals that were listed or who were going to be listed had a right to challenge their listing on the CACI list. County child welfare agencies were to give public notice of those people who may not had been previously notified of their listing. Additionally, any unsupported CACI listings were to be purged from the list. Additionally, in Humphries v. County of Los Angeles, the Ninth Circuit found that the old procedures violated due process rights of individuals listed on the CACI.

In many Los Angeles CACI cases clients have contacted our office looking for a CACI lawyer after not knowing that years earlier they were listed on the Child Abuse Central Index. We can fight to get you removed from the Child Abuse Central Index listing. It takes many steps but first finding out which agency added you to the CACI list can be the start. This can be done through a livescan and from there, we can go about contacting that agency to challenge the listing.
