State foster care could get boost

by Tim Martin

LANSING -- Michigan's strained foster care system might get some support from the private sector under a plan soon to be introduced in the state Legislature.

The state has 6,611 licensed foster homes, and agencies are looking to recruit more foster parents. But there are other ways for the public to help the system, lawmakers said. The state typically has had between 18,000 and 19,000 children in the foster care system at any one time in the past decade.

Texas officials drafting plans for FLDS children

by Ben Winslow

Texas child welfare authorities have begun drafting service plans for the children taken from the Fundamentalist LDS Church's YFZ Ranch.

"It's the plan that has to address the permanency," said Mary Walker, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. "Whether or not children will be unified with their parents or whether or not they will remain in foster care."

CPS files still closed as more queries raised

Need another reason why the Arizona Legislature needs to pry open a few of those lead-lined windows that allow Child Protective Services to protect itself from the prying eyes of outsiders? Two words: Dave Wigton.

For nearly 30 years, Wigton has worked at the agency whose only job is to protect children. Then last week, he was accused of turning a little girl into his own personal sex toy and, as a bonus, sharing kiddie porn with a teenage boy.

Expose DHS-CPD, Part III

by Jenifer Saroian

My ever increasing email has come to include the names of women who have actually died (Pamela Gaston) in the effort to effect a change in the broken, abusive practices of DHS-CPD.

I am humbled by the experience and efforts made by those who have gone before me; those who have given years of broken hearted effort for their children and their sisters. The strong, battle weary, women who are still without justice, in spite of their strength and courage.

DHS-CSD Expose Part II

by Jenifer Saroian

I DO NOT support the presumption that DHS is all bad, or has no place in our society. If you are a child abuser, you deserve to have your children removed from your custody.

If you are a parent that needs education to improve your parenting skills, I want you to get that education. If you are so ill that you can not adequately parent, I want you to get the help you need and deserve (which does not include punishment by DHS, but help).

Expose - DHS Children's Protective Services Division

by Jenifer Saroian

DHS often requests that clients bring in, or sign releases for their clients' medical records. If the existing medical records do not support the allegations made by DHS, they routinely bring in their own psychiatrists.

ese psychiatrists are paid an average of $2,000.00 by DHS (aka Oregon tax payers) for each psychiatric evaluation (psych eval). These evaluations do not include reviewing any of the existing medical documentation that the client has already paid for.
