Protecting the Children
Katie Davis knows what it is like to feel isolated, a child without a family set adrift in a foster-care system after being betrayed by an adult.
But as she bounced from foster home to juvenile detention to a residential-care facility over a period of about eight years, Davis had a lifeline: Court Appointed Special Advocates Melly and Paul Wright.
Note: I have nothing against the people featured in this article. I post it because of the information given in the article.
You may want to read the article at www.nccpr.org/reports/virginia02132008.pdf Perhaps even link to it. I wept when I read of the treatment of parents and children. I am a Virginian and have been proud of it until reading this. Gov. Kaine is an idiot! He pours money into raises for CPS, but not for parents to keep their children with them.
