Oregon flunks to promote the safety of care
The failure to consider the reports and cases of abuse of labour is not activated, or with children whose parents were often mentioned above in security concerns in a federal state to revise the promotion of care.More than 12000 children, including thousands living in temporary care centres in the state custody at some point.
The new format shows the state in 11 of 14 areas of critical importance to the safety and well-being of children.
During the year 2001 was a similar revision of the Confederation, which Oregon’s Child Welfare safety net do not meet the standards in eight key areas. The standards of this period were, Oregon and bottom scores in the new report.
No state passed in 2001, be reviewed. Officials of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Washington, DC, went on the latest results of Oregon.
State officials say that the results were so bad, as it had feared.
Dir Ted Kulongoski, grew up in an orphanage, “he said in anger after the reading of a draft and pledged personally see that the problems are solved.
“I identify a lot to these children,” said Kulongoski. “I was in a number of situations where I lived with other people, when I was younger. … These children, not their fault, they are mistreated a lot of time, whether physical abuse, psychological or violence is simply negligible. And they are only children. ”
The Confederation criticism, Oregon September visited in the past, and combed over 65 cases that were repeated indications on the state of low performance.
For example, they read 11 of 65 cases have not shown caseworker visits to a child over a longer period. In some cases, several months between visits.
Critics found Oregon slowly at the end of adoptions, cited three cases where adoption is not yet complete, while children were Foster Care for at least 45 months.
The team also interviews with the child for lawyers, judges, parents and others during his visit, Oregon. It was said he was “very little support for parents and children. For example, if parents are caring for a child, but they get the formula is not nappies.”
A separate investigation newspaper The Oregonian, the date of revision of the Federal Constitution has revealed that over 3000 children per month, Foster Care does not receive visits from their Case Worker.
The newspaper also found that the State employer does not react quickly enough, attributed to delays that some reports of neglect or abuse of children over 300 times per month.
The state has until April 7 to give its plan to improve the U.S. administration for children and families. Technically speaking, the federal government could, under penalty Oregon him a portion of the money it sends to support children. But state officials say that is unlikely.
“We want in a place that is much better, and we know from a number of issues raised in this report,” said Bruce Goldberg, director of the State Department of Human Services.
