DCF: Helpless and hopeless?

Here's another story by the fantastic Carol Marbin Miller about the Department of Children and Families making dubious decisions -- yet again. Remember that 2-year-old who went missing from a foster setting and was rescued in Wisconsin in a home where a tortured 11-year-old was stuffed in a closet and his mother buried in the backyard? We come to find out that the foster placement was questionable in the first place.
Who's minding the store? Gov. Crist should make child welfare a priority -- above tax property relief. They're our future. Unfortunately, kids don't vote.

This is heart-breaking. I don't know why our elected officials don't solve this problem once and for all.

The personnel hired to monitor and supervise the foster placements have to be on top of each and every case. These kids cannot continue to dissappear. This cannot continue.

We should demand that this issue be given more attention and it should happen RIGHT NOW.

No child is expendable.
