Report Gives Maine an "F" in Legal Protections for Children

A non-profit organization in Washington D.C. and a West Coast law school today published a report that gives Maine a failing grade for its efforts to protect the legal rights of abused and neglected children. Maine was downgraded because of its policy on legal representations of children.

The so-called "National Report Card on Legal Representation for Abused and Neglected Children" was released on Capitol Hill by the First Star children's advocacy organization and the Children's Advocacy Institute at the University of San Diego School of Law.

Maine was one of seven states that earned an F on the report card, alongside Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, and North Dakota.

Note: I wonder if this study was funded by System Suck lawyers, looking for more lengthy contracts?
