With First 5 Under Attack California's Kids Will Lose Out

by Jessica Mihaly

With the state's budget in crisis, legislators are turning to any resource to pay the state's bills. First 5 to lose upwards of $1.6 billion.

First 5 Sacramento supports the Sacramento Crisis Nursery a county program that seeks to prevent child abuse and neglect by providing support, food, shelter and counseling to families in times of crisis. In Santa Clara County, First 5 provided $750,000 in matching money to help the Family Court win a five-year, $3.7 million federal grant to create a program for drug addicted mothers and pregnant women.

With judge's 'Hooray!' safe haven boys get a home

by Lynn Safranek

An Omaha woman became a foster parent in September - at age 75 - after the boys' father left them and seven of their siblings at Creighton University Medical Center under Nebraska's safe haven law.

It is the first permanent living arrangement for any of the 29 safe haven children who have remained in Nebraska foster care after being left at hospitals last fall. Six additional children were returned to their home states and one Omaha child was returned home immediately.

With Racial Prejudice Toward None

by Rabbi Nachum Shifren

Los Angeles -- My classroom lay in ashes. The acrid smell of asbestos permeated the thick air in the "C" building, where police had cordoned off the area with bright yellow tape, forbidding the entry of staff and students.

The entire wing of our language building would be closed for an entire six weeks. Collateral damage done to the adjacent classrooms meant that a slew of teachers would be "traveling", juggling books, tests, overhead transparencies, and supplies, like gypsies, bivouacking through lunch areas, track bleachers, even lawn areas of the senior quad.

With SSI program, a legacy of unintended side effects

by Patricia Wen

Geneva Fielding, a single mother since age 16, has struggled to raise her three energetic boys in the housing projects of Roxbury. Nothing has come easily, least of all money.

Even so, she resisted some years back when neighbors told her about a federal program called SSI that could pay her thousands of dollars a year. The benefit was a lot like welfare, better in many ways, but it came with a catch: To qualify, a child had to be disabled. And if the disability was mental or behavioral - something like ADHD - the child pretty much had to be taking psychotropic drugs. "To get the check," Fielding, 34, has concluded with regret, "you've got to medicate the child."

With too many Latino kids in foster care, a California assemblyman searches for answers

by Joe Rodriguez

Worried about the large number of Latino children taken away from parents and placed in California foster care, a host of state politicians Friday took over a church hall once occupied by farmworker leader Cesar Chavez to hear answers to the problem.

And they got an earful from locals calling for solutions ranging from free college tuition for foster care students to hiring more bilingual social workers and giving counties enough money and flexibility to fix the problem. But among the many speakers, one stood out for his personal voyage through the child welfare system.

Witness: Teens at ranch said any age OK to marry

A child protection supervisor testified Thursday that she encountered several pregnant teen girls at a polygamist ranch who believed it was acceptable to be "spiritually united" with a man at any age.

State attorneys requested DNA samples to match children to their parents as well as a psychiatric evaluation of the children, a request that immediately prompted numerous objections. Another attorney called the procedure a violation of due process for the children.

WND takes on America's lawless legal system

Why many citizens fear attorneys, judges more than terrorists

I have come to fear almost everything having to do with law. Though there are many fine people in the legal profession, and though law is necessary to protect society from descending into chaos, I now fear the legal profession more than I do Islamic terror ...
