Description
This is an original proceeding pursuant to C.A.R. 21. The People seek relief in the nature of prohibition to vacate protective orders entered by the Adams County District Court in six dependency and neglect proceedings pending in the juvenile division of that court. The orders add certain district attorneys and sheriff and police officers as parties to the dependency and neglect proceedings, prohibit those persons from questioning employees of the Adams County Department of Social Services concerning statements given by designated respondents in the course of court-ordered treatment plans, and prohibit the use of such statements in any criminal or civil proceeding. Each respondent protected by the orders is a parent whose sexual abuse of a child was a basis for the dependency and neglect proceeding in which a challenged protective order was issued. The People contend that the district court lacked authority to enter the protective orders and that such orders improperly interfere with the duty of child care workers to report child abuse and of law enforcement officers to investigate criminal activity. We conclude that the district court had authority to issue the orders in question and did not abuse its discretion by doing so. We therefore discharge the rule to show cause.
