A story in Friday’s edition about a state agency’s handling of child abuse allegations contained incorrect information about how a person’s name is placed on the child maltreatment registry. Under Arkansas Code 12-18-903, an offender’s name is placed on the registry if: an adult offender does not make a timely request for an administrative hearing; an underage offender or his parent or guardian waives an administrative hearing; an administrative law judge upholds investigative findings pursuant to a preliminary administrative hearing; or, after completion of the administrative hearing process, the department’s true finding is upheld.
