Children becoming priority at state child welfare agency
It was another terrible case of Florida losing a child. But this time, Florida actually did something about it.
In February 2006, the Department of Children and Families removed 2-year-old Courtney Clark from her home in Pinellas County and placed her in foster care. But the state then failed to check on her monthly - even though state law requires that the agency do so - and the toddler went missing for nine months. She finally turned up in Wisconsin, having been taken there by her biological mother, in June 2007.
Note: They should have been the priority all along.
