Amends the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. Provide that if a caseworker of the Department of Children and Family Services, including an intact family specialist or placement specialist, believes that a parent, guardian, or other responsible adult of a child has made a credible threat of violence against the caseworker during a prior home visit, the caseworker may (i) request that local law enforcement officers accompany the caseworker on any subsequent home visits for that child or (ii) request that the Department reassign the child's case to another caseworker. Requires law enforcement officers to, upon request, make all reasonable efforts to assist the caseworker in receiving law enforcement assistance from any other police jurisdiction that is outside the accompanying officers' primary jurisdiction.
