(1) Based upon the information contained in any report received and any additional information otherwise obtained by the Commission, the Commission shall determine whether it has jurisdiction over the matter reported.
(2) A jurisdictional determination shall be based upon the following factors:
(a) Whether
the alleged victim is a person with a disability as defined by M.G.L. c. 19C,
and 118 CMR.
(b) Whether the
alleged abuser is a caretaker, as defined by M.G.L. c. 19C, and 118 CMR, of the
alleged victim.
(c) Whether it
appears the acts or omissions of the alleged victim's caretaker have resulted
in the alleged victim suffering serious physical injury or serious emotional
injury, or both, or because of the nature of the caretaker's act or omission it
is reasonable to conclude that abuse per se may have
occurred.
