DCYF cites high caseloads, looks at adding 24/7 staffing

DCYF cites high caseloads, looks at adding 24/7 staffing | Concord Monitor:

Heavy workloads and high staff turnover at the state’s Division for Children, Youth and Families are impacting the agency’s ability to keep children safe, according to a recent report from the division.

My Comment: What sense does it make to hire more DCYF worker's when the children were placed back in the home while Criminal charges were pending against the Mother? More caseworkers couldn't have stopped this death. DCYF and the Judge dropped the ball on this one. If the kids weren't returned to a Mother criminally charged with their abuse, this precious little girl wouldn't be dead now.

The only way to stop this from happening again, is reform of DCYF and the Family Court's. My one question; What sense does it make to return children to a home where their Mother has Criminal abuse charges pending, but never return children to a home where Criminal charges against the parent are dropped due to evidence of innocence? Sounds backward doesn't it? That's because it is!
