Whether petitions will be filed and what allegations will be included

The correct answer is: Whether petitions will be filed and what allegations will be included

This decision-making authority is significant as it influences the legal actions that will be taken in the case. The other options (A, B, and C) describe important tasks that may be performed by various professionals involved in child welfare cases, but the primary decision-making power in terms of filing petitions and specifying allegations lies with the State's Attorneys.
