    Default Is Reporting a Probation Violation to a Probation Officer a HIPAA Violation

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio

    My 51 y.o., chronically alcoholic sister is threatening me with legal action indicating that she believes I violated her HIPPA rights when I informed her Probation Officer that she was severely intoxicated just 48 hours after coming out of a 30 day treatment program. I only contacted him as a last resort for advice on what could possibly be done after I've exhausted all of the resources I could find during the last two years of efforts of trying to help my sister beat this disease. My sister was issued a DUI in 3/09, a one-year driver's license suspension and has served 7 days in prison. I'm not sure of the length of her probation. Should I be concerned that she has a case? Thank you.

    This is not a HIPAA violation.

    Your sister is bluffing and she has a very serious problem.

    Thank you so much Carl. My common sense told me that had to be the case, but she's furious with me and is looking for any opportunity to make me suffer for her poor choices, as I've sadly learned is not uncommon with alcoholics.
