Utah's child welfare agency has released the results of an audit into drug testing related complaints that was conducted in response to questions from the KSL Investigators.
PRICE — "There's no explanation for it," Morisha Quintana said after sorting through court paperwork and drug test results that were spread across her mother's coffee table.
In January, Quintana did two urine tests in one day: one with Averhealth, the company the Division of Child and Family Services used to contract with for testing, and the other through a local recovery program. That second test came back negative for methamphetamine, but the Averhealth test was positive, and that's the result DCFS reported to the judge.
"If you have a concern about drug testing, and a parent takes it to their attorney, and we go before the court, and we present all of the information from all sides, and the judge makes a decision, I think that's really showing that the process works," Myrup said. "The Office of Child Protection Ombudsman is just one avenue for complaints," Myrup explained, "and we really looked at that because it was one area that we could get the data to look into the cases to see what was happening."
Parents tell the KSL Investigators the consequences for a positive test are often immediate, while fighting to challenge those results can take weeks, and even months.
