In J.G. v. Department of Public Welfare, 795 A.2d 1089 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2002) both the mother and father were named defendants and the dependency order found that abuse had occurred but did not indicate whether the mother or the father had committed the abuse, the Court was unable to ascertain from the order which person was the actual perpetrator of the abuse. An indicated report of child abuse was filed against J.G. Following a dependency hearing, the status of the report was changed from "indicated" to "founded." In the dependency adjudication, the trial court found: In the case at bar, the testimony is uncontradicted, unequivocal and well-beyond the clear and convincing standard that A.M. was abused. The fact that there is no direct evidence to implicate the mother is not dispositive. It is clear from the testimony that the injuries that were inflicted occurred sometime while this child was under the supervision and control of both parents. Moreover, the agency has established by clear and convincing evidence that the child is presently without proper parental care or control and that such care or control is not immediately available. Therefore, the Court will issue a decree adjudicating this child as dependent. J.G., 795 A.2d at 1093. As a result of this change in status from "indicated" to "founded," the Bureau did not hear J.G.'s appeal as to the indicated report. It further concluded that J.G. had no right of appeal from the founded report. J.G. then appealed to this Court. On appeal, this Court found that although a perpetrator in an indicated report of child abuse has a right to appeal a denial of an expungement request under the Law, "there is no corresponding provision within the Law for perpetrators named in a 'founded report' of child abuse. This statutory omission does not mean that a named perpetrator in a founded report does not have any right of appeal." J.G., 795 A.2d at 1092. The Court further found that a founded report of child abuse is an adjudication and that, under Section 504 of the Administrative Agency Law, 2 Pa. C.S. 504, "no adjudication of a Commonwealth agency shall be valid as to any party unless he shall have been afforded reasonable notice of a hearing and an opportunity to be heard." Id. While we held that there was a right to appeal, we specifically noted that in a criminal proceeding, where there is an entry of a guilty plea or nolo contendere or a finding of guilt to a criminal charge involving the same factual circumstances involved in the allegation of child abuse, an appeal would "in most instances, constitute a collateral attack of the adjudication itself, which is not allowed." J.G., 795 A.2d at 1093. This holding was made subject to a distinction, which we explained as follows: Where, however, a founded report is based upon a judicial adjudication in a non-criminal proceeding, such as a dependency action, in which the court enters a finding that the child was abused, but does not issue a corresponding finding that the named perpetrator was responsible for the abuse, a named perpetrator is entitled to an administrative appeal before the secretary to determine whether the underlying adjudication of child abuse supports a 'founded report' of abuse. We emphasize that the scope of the appeal is for the limited purpose of determining whether or not the underlying adjudication supports a founded report that the named perpetrator is responsible for the abuse and would not permit a named perpetrator to collaterally attack or otherwise challenge the underlying judicial adjudication. Id. at 1093.
