Title: State won’t answer questions about caseloads after 35 child deaths Post by: KittyMom on February 18, 2012, 12:31:44 AM http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/state-wont-answer-questions-about-caseloads-after-/nJG2P/
Quote "I guess that's where the frustration is. We see numbers like this and you say you don't know if this is a high number or not. We're seeing 35 in two-and-a-half months when we had 92 all of last year. Is that an acceptable number?" Geary asked. This system is broken and its the kids that are paying the price. Crying about it is not saving lives. Start making changes. Talk with the case workers. They are overwhelmed. We need more case workers.

Top child advocate gives little insight into child deaths Quote Despite the number of deaths, Boga told Diamant she's not ready to ring any additional alarms just yet. ::MonkeyEek:: Really? And at exactly what number does the death toll have reach before the alarm can be sounded? |
