Child Welfare Reform Bill Taking Shape

Child Welfare Reform Bill Taking Shape

Child welfare advocates in Arizona are hoping to help shape a reform bill being put together by a special legislative committee.

The bill-writing group was formed after last year’s discovery that 6,500 child abuse and neglect reports had not been investigated. In the last five years, Arizona has seen the largest increase of any state in the number of children in foster care.

Note: "Reform" means different things to different people.
