House committee to file child abuse legislation

July 25, 2007

BOSTON --House lawmakers will file legislation this week to open
end-of-life hearings for children in state custody, create a new cabinet
secretary for child welfare and enact other recommendations from a task
force created after the case of Haleigh Poutre.

The legislation, announced Wednesday by House Majority Leader John
Rogers, D-Norwood, chairman of the special House Committee on Child
Abuse and Neglect, also would require written second opinions and
recommendations from an ethics committee in end-of-life cases involving
children.

The bill sets out minimum education requirements for social workers and
increases criminal penalties if those legally required to report child
abuse fail to do so. It requires mandatory training for those mandated
reporters to help them recognize child abuse.

The review of the state's child welfare system began after Haleigh,
whose adoptive mother and stepfather were accused of beating her, was
hospitalized with severe brain injuries in 2005. The Department of
Social Services, which took custody of Haleigh, won approval from the
state's highest court to remove Haleigh's feeding tube after the agency
said doctors had declared her to be in a vegetative state. DSS was
criticized for acting too quickly to try ending her life support when
she improved. She was moved to a rehabilitation center.

The bill also would create a 19-member advisory board of state officials
and child abuse experts to work with the new secretary, and rename the
Department of Social Services to the Department of Children and Families.

It calls for an on-going five-year plan to assess and improve key issues
in the state's child welfare system.

House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi created the special 11-member committee
after Haleigh's case, and praised its work, calling the legislation a
"bold new roadmap for helping the state's dedicated social workers
reduce the troubling incidents of harm to our most vulnerable children."

The special committee first announced its major recommendations last
spring after a series of hearings.
