The answer is NO, but realize there could be serious consequences if you don’t permit this, such as court-ordered interviews, which can unnecessarily escalate or red-flag your Connecticut DCF investigation. DCF investigators may also want written permission from you to speak with your child’s private or public school teachers, dentist, therapists or other health care professionals, babysitters, or nannies, all requests which deeply concern parents who are trying to maintain a positive reputation in their community.
