Child welfare: Family connections more stable for displaced kids

Child welfare: Family connections more stable for displaced kids

The Oregonian story "The painful rules of child welfare: Jesse Tarter, the only dad two young boys ever knew, is kept away as relatives take over care" (Nov. 30) was compelling and highlighted the very difficult decisions made every day in the child welfare system. There are laws that provide parameters for our work and rules that provide direction for how to manage the complex nature of human relationships when children are involved in unsafe situations.

Note: Isn't it amazing how some people can make a point like this and still sound like a total system suck?
