§ 3109.72.
The parent, guardian, or custodian of a child may negate, reverse, or otherwise disapprove
any action taken or decision made pursuant to a caretaker authorization affidavit
unless negation, reversal, or disapproval would jeopardize the life, health, or safety
of the child. A parent, guardian, or custodian may negate, reverse, or disapprove a caretaker's
action or decision only by delivering written notice of negation, reversal, or disapproval
to the caretaker and the person responding to the caretaker's action or decision in
reliance on the affidavit. The act to negate, reverse, or disapprove the action or decision, regardless of
whether it is effective, terminates the affidavit as of the date the caretaker returns
the child to the parent, guardian, or custodian or upon the expiration of fourteen
days from the delivery of written notice of the negation, reversal, or disapproval
if the caretaker has not filed a complaint in the interim pursuant to section 3109.76 of the Revised Code .
