I blogged about it before but it bears repeating.
The absolute best chance to get a reversal of a DCF Substantiation and to get your name removed from the DCF Central Registry is to prevail at an Adminsitrative Hearing. In fact, it’s your only realistic chance. If you lose there – you are almost always done.
Don’t count on future appeals being successful.
I just read about yet another failed appeal to the Superior Court. Here it is:

When it comes to appealing Substantiation or Placement on the Central Registry you simply have to get it right the first time.
Remember no “do overs.”
