Foster care gets scrutiny

Foster care gets scrutiny

Foster parent Steven Van Clief recalled how he had just received approval from a judge to continue caring for three siblings for a few more months when a caseworker took them out of school and told them they would not be returning to his home.

Van Clief, who spoke to lawmakers Wednesday about foster care issues, said the case worker also screamed at his wife, Mary Ann, on the phone and threatened to shut them down but would not give a reason why except, "Because I can."
