P2 indicates what about the alleged abuser?

• A. They have direct access to the child
• B. They have potential access to the child
• C. They coordinate with CPS
• D. They have no access

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is how we describe an alleged abuser’s opportunity to be with the child. P2 indicates the person has potential access to the child—that is, there could be contact under certain circumstances even if they aren’t presently supervising or caring for the child. This helps investigators assess risk and plan safety measures (like supervised visits or restricting contact) because there’s a real possibility the abuser could be around the child. Direct access would mean the person is currently in the child’s daily life or caregiving role right now. No access would mean there’s no opportunity for contact at all. Coordinating with CPS is about how agencies work together, not about the level of access of the abuser. So labeling the abuser as having potential access best captures the idea that contact could occur in the future and that risk management should account for that possibility.
