DCF Lags On Foster Care, Court Monitor Says - Hartford Courant

DCF Lags On Foster Care, Court Monitor Says - Hartford Courant: "The state Department of Children and Families continues to lag in recruiting and retaining foster families — a problem that affects the entire child-protection system and results in children being sent to out-of-state facilities or languishing in institutions, according to the latest federal oversight report.

The quarterly report released Wednesday by court monitor Raymond Mancuso said DCF was deficient in eight key areas related to the care of vulnerable children, including its foster care program.

The report covered July through September. In the previous quarter, DCF was deficient in five key areas."
