Have Maine’s DHHS child-protective services improved?
While sweeping changes were mandated in Maine’s DHHS system in 2004, change is hard to accept — and implement. Families like the Handlers, whose civil rights were abused, continue to fall through the cracks. The Handler case shows a mother’s disability was exploited by DHHS and kinship rights brushed aside, when kinship placement papers could have placed the son with his loving grandmother or a cousin.
Note: Maine hasn't changed a thing except for the lines of bullshit that they present to the general public.
