The number of abused and neglected children in state care has nearly doubled in Pima County over the past decade - even as funding to help them has dropped precipitously and the number of foster homes declined.

Statewide and locally, it is becoming more difficult to place children removed from their homes with families where they can experience some normalcy. Caseworkers are trying harder to place children with relatives, but it's not a simple solution. Tracking down extended family who might help can be challenging, and resources are scant. Group homes and shelters, meant to offer a temporary reprieve, are becoming long-term housing for many older children, sibling groups and teens.

Children who are beaten, starved or abandoned are likely to suffer emotional trauma so severe that it can impair the way their bodies and brains grow up - and, if never addressed, cause lifelong health problems.

But in Colorado, specific treatment for such emotional distress is rare, leaving these children vulnerable to being misdiagnosed as mentally ill or hyperactive when, in reality, they are exhibiting post-traumatic stress disorders, experts say.

The number of confirmed sexual abuses committed by educational personnel represents almost a quarter of the total cases of all abuses accurately reported by educational personnel.

Teachers simply don't make for very reliable reporters. Educational personnel were the single most likely group to make unsubstantiated claims of child abuse. Their 179,098 unsubstantiated claims represented 17.1 percent of all such claims

For many years, Maine homeschool families had fair access to low-cost college classes through the Aspirations Program (also called Senior Year Plus and Post-Secondary Enrollment Option).

But in 2010 bureaucrats blocked access unless the student also signed up for a regular class at the local high school. Homeschoolers of Maine and HSLDA teamed up to correct this injustice. They worked on legislation during the 2011-2012 session. A bill they developed made progress, but was not enacted.

Cholesterol pills. Heart meds. Painkillers. All are common prescriptions many of us have in our homes. But each year, more than 60,000 children ages 5 and under are poisoned by mistakenly ingesting these common medicines.

According to a recent report by Safe Kids Worldwide, 95 percent of these trips to the emergency room are because a child got into medicines while the parent or caregiver was not looking. The other 5 percent were caused by caregiver dosing errors. The Safe Kids' report notes that while the death rate among children 14 and under from poisoning has been cut in half since the late 1970s, the percentage of all child poisoning deaths caused by medications has nearly doubled, to 64 percent from 36 percent.

ACCOMAC - A 16-year-old boy with Hodgkin's disease who is fighting for his life and his right to an alternative treatment wrapped up a two-day hearing Tuesday but will have to wait to find out whether he can continue his current medical regimen.

Judge Jesse E. Demps of Accomack County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court spent two hours Monday and nine hours Tuesday hearing testimony in the case of Abraham Cherrix and said he would deliver a written decision next week. The Chincoteague boy and his parents have been fighting in court to continue his treatment, despite a request from the Accomack County Department of Social Services that Abraham be forced to return to more conventional therapies.

SACRAMENTO -- Assemblywoman Karen Bass, a Los Angeles Democrat, stood on a Capitol balcony several months ago talking about the plight of foster children, most of whom have been abused or neglected.

The realization that this sentiment existed on both sides of the political aisle led to a big boost in what the state will spend on foster children this year. The rare agreement of Sacramento Democrats and Republicans to increase social services spending makes foster youths one of the few groups to get more money this year than last, an increase of more than $83 million.

What happens when a government agency is allowed to operate outside the Rule of Law?

In all states that I am aware of, various versions of New Mexico's Children, Youth and Families Department operate outside the Rule of Law. That is they may make whatever accusations they please or accept anonymous accusations of child abuse, and act on them by invading the sanctity of the people's homes and remove children, all without being required to follow the normal constitutional procedures that protect the rights of the accused.
