Description
S.T. petitions for review of a final order of the Office of Hearings and Appeals, Department of Public Welfare (DPW), that adopted in its entirety the recommendation of an attorney examiner denying S.T.s appeal and determining that an indicated report of child abuse, listing S.T. as the perpetrator, should not be expunged. The issues presented for review are whether DPWs order is supported by substantial evidence, where the identification of S.T. as the perpetrator allegedly was based upon uncorroborated hearsay; whether there is substantial evidence to support the finding that the victim suffered a "serious injury" within the meaning of Section 6303 of the Child Protective Services Law, 23 Pa. C.S. ร§ 6303, where the child suffered no severe pain or permanent residual effects and was able to engage in his normal activities; and whether S.T.s due process rights under the United States and Pennsylvania Constitutions were violated.
