S5432 Phone: 786-7377 - york: 698-07~7 ~FERRAL TO S(~JTH FIELD UNIT I~NTIFYING INFORMATION: The ~nterstate Co~ct Transmittal was received on May 15, 1984, requesting a completed Hom~ Evaluation and rec~u, endation with regard to Jerald Hall, Jr. °s (3 years of age) placement with his mother. Alice Hall Evans was married on April 21, 1984 and her husband's name is Frank Evans. 'Alice and Frank have lived together since September, 1981. Jerald Hall, Jr. has lived with them during this period of time with the exception of two placen~nts in foster care in 1982 and a two-month visit with his father, Jerald Hall, or Eugene, Oregon. The con~ent of Ms. Lou Brelje, Interstate Coordinator, is the r~quest that Jerald live with the mother for at least six months before the State of Cali- fornia terminates custody. Jerald has lived with his mother since the family moved to Minnesota in January, 1983 and ~ am assuming that the request is that Jerald live with his mother while our Agency is involved in Child Protection services for a period of six months. PRESENTING PROBL~: The Juvenile Supplemental Court Report completed by the Social Service Agency of Orange County in Anaheim, California, describes the legal history at which time this minor child was declared a dependent of the Orange County Juvenile Court on May 17, 1982. The report indicates that "On or about March 23, 1982, the minor was observed to have bruises on his face, ear, neck, back, chest; and legs; further, the diagnostic impression is 'bruising compatible with non-acci- dental trauma. '" At that time, the child's mother stated that her boyfriend frequently spanked this child too hard and the decision established that Jerald's mother would need to protect the child from this abuse and foster care placemen~ · .was needed for a period of time. Alice is now ~arried to the boyfriend mentioned in that report, Frank Evans. The presenting problem is the fact that Jerald Hall, .Jr. is a victim of physical abuse and our Agency is requested to supervise this child's placement in the home of his mother. BACKGROUND INFORMATI(I~: Mr. & Mrs. Evans have lived in this apartment setting since early in the year of 1983. Sgt. Frank Evans is a Staff Sergeant Recruiter with the Marine Corps in Minneapolis and Mrs. Evans is employed at Schelard National Bank located in the Sibley Plaza in St. Paul, Minnesota. Mrs. Evans stated that she was divorced in November, 1983 and has lived with Frank for about 2% years prior to their mar- riage. They explained that they met each other because Sgt. Evans had Jerald Hall working for him in his position with the Marines in California. Frank stated that his wife left him with their two sons and a couple of months later, Jerald Hall left Alice and in a short time, Alice and Frank got together.
