No. 100,893 IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF KANSAS L.E.H., a Minor Child, by and through D.H., Appellant, v. STATE OF KANSAS DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL AND REHABILITATION SERVICES, Appellee.

SYLLABUS BY THE COURT

1. The Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services is not required to find that an individual is a danger to children generally before it can substantiate a claim of child abuse. There is no such requirement whether the purpose of the determination is for the protection of the child involved in the abuse allegation or for potential listing on the child abuse and neglect registry.

2. When the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation determines whether child abuse has been proved by clear and convincing evidence, the definition for that standard is set out in In re B.D.-Y., 286 Kan. 686, Syl.
