Chris Gottlieb, co-director of the Family Defense Clinic at the New York University School of Law, explains Camreta v. Greene, a case heard by the Supreme Court in March:
The case Camreta v. Greene involves parents’ and children’s rights in child welfare cases. The case started when a mother in Oregon sued child protective services because of what they had done to her daughter. The child protective services (CPS) worker in the case did something that’s actually pretty common around the country: the CPS worker and a police officer came to a child’s school and took a child out of class to question her.

Society is getting accustomed to not smoking, and most of us cringe at the thought of killing animals for their fur, or for the fun/sport of shooting them. Now we really need to wean our culture from another bad habit: buying/adopting infants and toddlers.

Social services area rethinking how they do business in Ohio
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.

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.
