WKSU News: Social services area rethinking how they do business in Ohio
Kinship Care is a alternative to foster care. Grandparents or other family members adopt or become guardians of children. State assistance in such cases is typically less expensive for taxpayers than foster care.
Governor John Kasich says his proposed two-year budget will eliminate an 8 billion dollar hole as much by changing how the state operates as by cutting the dollars themselves. WKSU’s Tim Rudell takes a closer look at how some social services in Northeast Ohio will be forced to adapt – as will the people who use them.

$10 Million Settlement For Child Abused By Foster Parent Demonstrates Lapses In Oversight System | Jonathan Rosenfeld
$10 Million Settlement For Child Abused By Foster Parent Demonstrates Lapses In Oversight System | Jonathan Rosenfeld - Nursing Home Abuse - JDSupra
Summary: A significant settlement in a foster care abuse lawsuit demonstrated the defects in regulatory system meant to protect vulnerable children and infants. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of a 5-year-old boy who was placed into the foster care system after his birth mother was deemed unfit to care for the baby by her family.
From the time the boy was placed in the custody of his foster mother, he was repeatedly physically abused by the woman. An ancillary criminal trial of the foster mother demonstrated that repeated episodes of physical abuse resulted in a permanent brain injury to the boy.

Foster children and antidepressants
Meet the New Advocate for Foster Children—Giovan Bazan
Imagine for a moment that you're a child in the foster care system in the US; you don't have a family, you live in a state-run institution, and you along with more than half of the other foster kids are forced to take psychiatric drugs which give you horrific side effects. You are literally treated worse than a prisoner, and you're just a kid. The horrible truth is that today, 52 percent of foster care kids are being given psychiatric drugs including antidepressants and powerful antipsychotics. That's about a quarter of a million kids in the U.S. alone on drugs that cause depression, psychosis, aggression, mania, violent and suicidal tendencies. These children need a voice.
Meet this week's Watchdog Radio show guest, Giovan Bazan. A former foster child himself, he has been to hell and back and lived to tell about it.
