Maine Voices: There is no scandal with the guardian ad litem system in Maine
Note: This article is absolute bullshit. The scandal is that Maine's Guardian Ad Litem's are bought and sold just as easily as any other system suck. Their recommendations are often based on nothing more than what the nice social worker tells them or that which benefits their own wallets.
Maine Voices: There is no scandal with the guardian ad litem system in Maine
Dr. Jerome Collins' recent critique of the guardian ad litem "system" in Maine (Maine Voices, "Maine's guardian ad litem program desperately needs better oversight," March 9) recites some weaknesses in the supervision of guardians ad litem in Maine, identified in reports by the Office of Program Evaluation and Governmental Accountability in 2006, and by the Report of the Advisory Committee on Children and Families, the judicial branch's 2008 response.

The experience I have had with the GAL system in Maine has been less than positive. Here is a person that can make life altering decisions and there is no management or oversight. The Maine Guardian ad Litem Institute's only interest os to maintain the status quo of the system. They speak of change yet after 6 + years there has been no meaningful change.
