The way I'd approach this if I were the lawyer (and I'm not, I lack 2 semesters and a [passed] Bar Exam before I get to be called that) is that I'd have to know what the DHS worker did, then I'd try to figure out if there was a way I could describe that as crossing the line.
With seemingly gray situations like that, there's a lot of room for argument and good research. From what you're saying, in my mind, it all depends on what the case worker actually did.
For what it's worth, I don't think even the most seasoned attorney would even be able to hazard a guess on this without knowing
all of the facts.
Dad needs to get a lawyer, pronto.
