CBC News - Saskatchewan - Number of children in care must be reduced: report: "A report on child welfare in Saskatchewan says the system is broken with too many children going into care — and it needs a major overhaul.
The Saskatchewan Child Welfare Review report was presented Thursday to Social Services Minister June Draude.
Titled For the Good of Our Children and Youth, the 53-page report says foster care is in crisis and the care some children are receiving may be doing more harm than good."

TRENTON — Most of New Jersey's foster children get routine medical care, are more likely to live in a family home than a group home or institution, and wait less than a year to be adopted once a new family is found for them, according to the latest court-ordered monitoring report grading the state's child welfare system.
But for the third consecutive monitoring period spanning 18 months, the Division of Youth and Family Services has failed to do the work critical to returning foster children to their parents. According to the report released today:
• Only half of the roughly 7,800 children living in foster homes had a plan within a month that mapped out how they would be reunified with their families, far short of the federal court's goal of 95 percent.

New child protection law aims to strengthen families rather than divide them | Germany | Deutsche Welle | 14.12.2010
New child protection law aims to strengthen families rather than divide them | Germany | Deutsche Welle | 14.12.2010: "The government has decided that the best way to help children at risk of abuse is to intervene early on. But critics question whether there's enough money behind the plans.
The German minister for families, Kristina Schroeder, presented a new child protection bill to parliament on Tuesday. It aims to provide support for problem families who show signs of stress and a tendency towards neglect, rather than put children into care, a practice which has increased by 81% in the last 4 years according to the German Association for Child Protection.
'With the new child protection law, I think we will establish a strong network to protect our children - a network which puts the wellbeing of the child in the centre, which relieves families in stressful situations and therefore protects children who are at risk and which makes us all responsible for protecting children,' Schroeder said at a press conference."
