Who may take protective custody of children when they determine the children are at risk of harm in their immediate environment?

  1. Social Workers

  2. Teachers

  3. Attorneys

  4. DCFS child protection investigators, law enforcement officers, and physicians

The correct answer is: DCFS child protection investigators, law enforcement officers, and physicians

DCFS child protection investigators, law enforcement officers, and physicians may take protective custody of children when they determine the children are at risk of harm in their immediate environment. This is because they are trained professionals who have the authority and expertise to assess situations and make decisions regarding child safety and welfare. Social Workers, Teachers, and Attorneys do not typically have the legal authority to take protective custody of children.
