House Ways Committee convened hearings CPS failure to protect

The first hearing was held Thursday, November 6.

Second hearing will treat more of budget allocations to the states in the case
of foster and adoptive children and how they are neglected under state CPS
care, custody and control.

In light of the horrendous NJ situation where, although visited by cw's no less
than 38 times (if the RECORDS WERE NOT FALSIFIED) AND THEY OFTEN ARE, NO less
than 5 cw's and supervisors completely MISSED THE BOYS STARVING in front of
their faces.

Holocaust level thinness--while cw kneels down and prays for power, and
electricity to be restored to the home of the feckless foster parents.

She acknowledges:

Poor decision making
Lack of accountability
Poor training etc., etc.

Other testimony is linked there, too.

No less than 5 other DYFS employees had visited home and apparently noticed NO
PROBLEMS.

Although NJ wants to check on pet's vaccination status, no effort was made to
ensure that children had proper medical check-ups. None of the boys had been
to a physician in over 5 years.

The caps on number of children present in household will be reviewed.

Other participants before the W& M committee testimony is linked. The pastor of
family's church submitted exculpatory testimony.
