Daniel+Pollack-1When the injury or the death of a child may have been caused by abuse or neglect, Child Protective Services (CPS) send investigators to discover and examine the facts that led to the incident so as to establish the truth. Unfortunately investigators sometimes commit legal mistakes that can have dire consequences. In a recent article, Professor Daniel Pollack from the Wurzweiler School of Social Work at Yeshiva University, describes what are the most common avoidable legal mistakes CPS investigators make and explains the reasons why they are committed. For example an interviewer may view a child’s anti-social behavior as a sign that the child is not a trust worthy reporter of abuse while this type of behavior is actually a sign of the abuse itself.

A worker was seriously injured in a construction accident in New York yesterday afternoon. The worker fell from the second floor of  a future 62-story building located at 435 W. 31st St in Hudson Yards on the west side of Manhattan.  He was taken to the hospital in serious condition. The builder, Hunter Roberts Construction Group told the New York Daily News that they were cooperating with investigators.

A few hours before the accident happened, The NY Daily News published an article indicating that The Department of Buildings agreed to the construction of 52,618 residential units over the last fiscal year, a massive 156% increase from the previous fiscal year and a 749% increase from the post-recession low of 2010. As construction is booming, construction accidents increase as well (see our previous blog).
