Description

The parties in this appeal are plaintiffs-appellants, Mr. and Mrs. Corbett Salyer, who are parents of a young girl, and defendants-appellees, Vicky Patrick and Becci Lewis, who are social workers on the staff of the Kentucky Cabinet for Human Resources. The Salyers allege 1) that the defendant social workers filed a juvenile court petition without adequately investigating a report that the child had been sexually abused, and 2) that the defendants act resulted in defamation, invasion of privacy, abuse of process and malicious prosecution of the Salyers. Plaintiffs sued under 42 U.S.C. Â§ 1983 and also under state law.
