Yep, they didn't smell the corpse.

That is very likely because they were there one month before, and the
article, if you'd bothered to read it, said the child was forced to
deliver meals for three weeks to a dead man.

Three weeks is less, honest, Hedge, than one month.

He very well could have been alive at the time of the prior visit, or
so recently deceased when the last required monthly visit was made
that there was nothing to detect.

Other than that there was no other problem, or nothing the press
reported. And surely they would dig on such a high value circulation
developer story.

Just for your edifiction:

I've heard that certifiers supervising foster homes don't look in
every single room every month when they visit. Naughty workers, eh?

Well, considering that they can anywhere from 30 to 70 foster homes to
oversee it kind of follows they haven't time to do that if they keep
up with the monthly required visits. And with only 22 working days a
month, that works out, on average to over three visits a day with
driving time...in large counties that can be considerable, and in many
regions not urban they also carry other caseload work.

Sure is easy to fault CPS workers, isn't it. Must give you a reason to
live.

Considering the places that PS workers have to go into every day of
their working life I wouldnt' be surprized if their olofactory system
was desensitized anyway. Maybe the foster family supervisors had PS
duties too, or had had them in the past.

One told me of going into...literally having to gather up infants and
toddlers, where a blended family of about 15 people lived. They found
every room of a three story old mansion filled with 55 gallon drums,
brimming with feces and urine, toilets long plugged and inoperable.

Even the hazmat team, all suited up for clean up with breathing
apparatus couldn't handle what that caseworkers took in stride.

The local septic tank pumper person refused to go into the house hence
the hazmat team had to be called to carry the end of his suction pump
hose into the house and empty barrel by barrel then remove the barrels
themselves. I lost track of what had to be done to the house, but when
I drove through the neighborhood about four years later, empty lot.
The Grass was very green though....R R R R I'm sure Yew appreciate
that.

Seems there was a little mental health problem in that family.

`Course they had a LIBERTY INTEREST in keeping the family's children
in those conditions, right?

Yah know, Yew, when CPS is wrong they are very very wrong and should
be stopped, but when they are Knot, you would do well to consider how
badly you undermine your "cause" of CPS reform with your nonsense
attacks.

You are the worst thing that could happen to folks that are serious
about reform and helping families. The very worst. And so are your
cohorts. They completely discredit the honest useful attempts at
reform. Someday they'll catch on and do something about you. I'll be
happy to send Flowers.

Interestingly DYFS was under court order to clean up DYFS yet again.

Just as Dr. Gelles says "CPS is chaos and a tragedy."

N.J. Child Agency Saw No Trouble at Home
Wed Feb 4,10:53 PM ET
By STEVE STRUNSKY, Associated Press Writer
CLARK, N.J. - New Jersey's child welfare agency regularly checked
the
home of foster parents now accused of harboring a corpse — and found
nothing amiss one month before the body was discovered, a state
official said Wednesday.
The couple allegedly forced their teenage foster daughter to bring
meals to the man's bedroom for up to three weeks after his death.
She
and two other foster children have since been removed from the home.
Kenneth and Donna Keaveney of Clark were charged with child cruelty
and elder neglect after police found the decaying body of Donna
Keaveney's father in an upstairs bedroom on Aug. 28.
Uneaten meals were inside the room, authorities said. An autopsy
later determined the 82-year-old man died of heart failure.
The state Division of Youth and Family Services removed three
children from the home — the 13-year-old girl who allegedly
delivered
the food and two other foster children, ages 11 and 4.
The couple, who were not taken into custody, are scheduled to
appear
in state court on Feb. 11. They were not represented by a lawyer as
of
Wednesday, a prosecutor said.
A caseworker made monthly visits to the home all last year,
according
to Human Services commissioner James Davy. He said the caseworker,
who
was last in the home July 25, did a thorough and comprehensive job.
"What they found was that the children were well cared for and were
bonding with the family," Davy said. "It was a good situation.
Something strange happened between the last time we were there and
Aug. 28."
Both foster parents were employed, agency director Edward Cotton
said. But records indicate the Keaveneys were sued by a hospital in
November 2000 to collect more than $20,000. In 1993, a credit union
and a bank tried to foreclose on their house.
The outcomes of those actions were not immediately clear, but the
couple remained in the house.
