Who's getting what? Who knows?

http://www.theolympian.com/adamwilson/story/178456.html

Tucked into one of the many bills that changed the child welfare program
this year was a study of services offered to troubled parents. We�re
talking counseling and other programs that will help them keep their
children, as opposed to the state terminating their legal rights
permanently.

But finding out just how many parents get that assistance from DSHS and
its vendors is going to be a tough one, Cynthia Forland explained to
members of the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee Tuesday.
�This is a case where we know that there is very little data available.�

So JLARC will start building its own database, she said. This is
apparently an oft-heard refrain in the committee because a few lawmakers
pounced on it.

�Maybe the first question we should ask is why doesn�t the department
have this information, and what does it take to get it,� Rep. Gary
Alexander, R-Thurston County.

The problem is partly the aging computer systems used by the department,
Forland said -- an explanation also often heard. While a new system
under design will likely track more information, she added that JLARC
wants to know more than whether the state referred some one to a counselor.

�It�s a matter of finding out a little bit more about what services
there are, are there waiting lists, are they offered in a language other
than English,� she said.

Still, the grumbling in the committee continued a bit. The members were
equally stymied by a lack of data on small business incubators, and a
Alexander wondered whether this kind of data tracking shouldn�t be
consided basic to each agnency�s mission.





CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A
DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NSA / CIA
WIRETAPPING PROGRAM....

CPS Does not protect children...
It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even
killed at the hands of Child Protective Services.

every parent should read this .pdf from
connecticut dcf watch...

http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com/8x11.pdf

Sexual Abuse CPS 112, Parents 13

CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING HUNDREDS OF INNOCENT
FAMILIES YEARLY NATIONWIDE AND COMING TO YOU'RE HOME SOON...


BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF
REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES
TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY
ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION...
