Kane County Protocol
For Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Children
I. Statutory Basis and Authority
The Child Center Advisory Board shall adopt,by a majority of the members,a written child
abuse protocol. The protocol shall be filed with the Illinois Department of Children and Family
Services,and a copy shall be furnished to each agency in the county,which has any involvement
with cases of abused children. The protocol shall be a written document outlining in detail the
procedures to be used in investigating and prosecuting cases arising from alleged child sexual
abuse and in coordinating treatment referrals for the child and his or her family. 55 ILCS
8013(c)(2000).
II. Purpose of Protocol
The purpose of the protocol shall be to ensure coordination and cooperation among all agencies
involved in child sexual abuse cases so as to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of those
agencies,to minimize the stress created for the child and his or her family by the investigatory
and judicial processes, and to ensure that effective treatment is provided to the child and his or
her family. 55ILCS 80/3(d)(2000).
III. County-wide Jurisdiction and Case Criteria
The Kane County Child Advocacy Center(hereinafter referred to as the"CAC") shall have
primary investigative responsibility for all cases of incidents occurring in Kane County as
described below:
SEXUAL ABUSE
A. All cases of sexual abuse and/or sexual assault to a child under 13 years of age where
the accused is age ten or over.
B. Cases of sexual abuse and/or sexual assault to children under 18 years of age by a
family member,caretaker or person in a position of authority where the accused is
age ten or over.
1. Allegations of sex abuse include,but are not limited to: Sexual
penetration, sexual molestation,and sexually transmitted disease
present in underage children concurrent with lab confirmation or
disclosure
C. Cases of sexual abuse and/or assault to children between the ages of 13 and 17 by
non-family members where there is:
1. A substantial element of force or
2. More than ten(10)years age difference between victim and offender
AND the accused is age ten or over.
Attachment A
Effective March 23,2011
Cases involving compliant sexual activity between participants less than ten years apart in age
will be investigated by the police agency with jurisdiction.
D. Children under the age of 10 who have been accused of sexualized behaviors will be
deemed sexually reactive children. It is not the policy of the CAC to accept investigations
of these children as perpetrators. The CAC will,upon request by the referring
jurisdiction, screen these children for adult involvement and make service referrals as
appropriate.
E. The Director shall have the discretion to accept cases other than those specified herein
when, in the judgement of the Director a determination is made that a case should be
handled in a victim sensitive manner.
F. All other criminal investigations involving child victims or witnesses can be reviewed
by the Director and the Chief of the Criminal Division of the State's Attorney's
Office to determine whether or not the case should be handled in a victim sensitive
manner. When so deemed,CAC personnel shall conduct the necessary child
interviews.
G. In those instances where a perpetrator has committed offenses in addition to sexual
and physical abuse, i.e. abduction,kidnapping,etc.,the Assistant State's Attorney's
assigned to prosecute CAC cases will have prosecutorial responsibility for the
additional charges as appropriate.
H.. The primary determining factor in case acceptance by the CAC will be the need for
the victim and his or her family to be handled in a child-sensitive manner, and the
need for the victim interview to be conducted using specialized forensic interview
techniques.
IV. Team Approach and Process

assigned by an outside agency to participate in the CAC. The Criminal Investigator
shall have countywide jurisdiction and will possess all of the authority of Peace

information and performing all duties necessary to determine the validity of sexual or
severe physical abuse allegations regardless of referral source.
B. Child Protection Investigator: Illinois Department of Children and Family Services
personnel assigned to the CAC who will work in partnership with the Criminal
Investigator. The Child Protection Investigator will participate in the forensic
interview and will be responsible for collecting all relevant information and
2
performing all duties necessary to determine the validity of sexual or severe physical
abuse allegations regardless of referral source. The Child Protection Investigator is
also responsible for developing plans to assure the safety of the abused child.
C. Case Manager: A victim/witness advocate, hired by the State's Attorney to provide
support services to children and families. These services include: crisis intervention,
medical and legal advocacy, referral and linkage to counseling and other needed

compensation.

charging through trial and sentencing and any juvenile court cases through
disposition.

report of the examination which will be provided to the CAC.

action involving any child whose case is being handled by the CAC. This will include actions

3
along with afterhours contact information for the CAC Director who will direct coordination of

EPORT TO MAYOR & MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL E LG I N
THE CITY IN THE SUBURBS
AGENDA ITEM: H
MEETING DATE: December 21, 2011
ITEM:
Contract with the Kane County Child Advocacy Center for Services Relating to the Investigation
of Sensitive Crimes Involving Children
($35,000)
OBJECTIVE:
Provide investigative and victim services for cases involving children who have been victimized
by sexual or serious physical abuse.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the contract with the Kane County Child Advocacy Center for investigative and victim
services related to serious crimes against children in the amount of$35,000.
BACKGROUND
The Kane County Child Advocacy Center (KCCAC) is a division of the Kane County State's Attor-
ney's office. It was established in 1994 to investigate and prosecute the sexual abuse and/or
serious physical abuse against children. The investigations are a cooperative effort between
prosecution, police and the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). When KCCAC
began, the department assigned an officer to assist with Elgin's cases. In 1999, this practice was
discontinued and the officer was reassigned to other departmental duties; however, the need
for services provided by KCCAC continued. This need has been addressed by a continuous
agreement, since the year 2000, between the department and KCCAC. In this agreement,
KCCAC has agreed to provide investigative services for sexual abuse and/or serious physical
abuse cases involving children. Their facility is equipped to manage victim sensitive interviews,
including their videotaping, and providing services or resources for children who have been se-
rious crime victims.
Through mid-December of 2011, 28 cases were investigated by KCCAC. Each case is estimated
to involve approximately 20 hours of an investigator's time, translating into 560 hours, or 14,
five-day work weeks of what would have otherwise been an Elgin officer's time. As this is a sig-
nificant caseload, KCCAC either requires a police officer assigned to their division or financial
assistance from the city to support investigations pertaining to Elgin cases.

OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
Demands upon city staff and fiscal resources are greatly reduced if the service agreement reement be-
tween KCCAC and the department remains intact. Aside from city personnel and cost advantag-
es, the victims they serve have particularly sensitive needs that will continue to benefit from
their expertise and highly trained staff.The quality of services provided by KCCAC to Elgin's spe-
cial victims and their families is an asset to the community.
INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
Police investigative personnel, social services and command staff discussed the cost and bene-
fits of maintaining this agreement and KCCAC was consulted. DCFS is an important stakeholder
in this agreement, as well.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
KCCAC has requested financial assistance in the amount of$35,000 to provide investigative ser-
vices in 2012. This funding level has remained unchanged since the original agreement in 2000.
Assigning an officer to the KCCAC in a dedicated role would cost approximately $118,000 (esti-
mated using a senior police officer's salary and benefits). Funds have been appropriated in the
2012 proposed general fund budget, account 010-2304-731-30-99, "Professional Services" to
award this contract.
