Penn State Incident Spurs Flurry of Legislative Proposals | Alliance1:
In the wake of the recent Penn State incident, where a 10 year-old was allegedly raped and the adults, including coaches and school personnel, failed to act, legislators are taking aim at child protection laws. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Sen. Robert Casey (D-Pa.), Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), and Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.) have in the past week sponsored legislation aimed at strengthening child maltreatment reporting laws.

DALTON, Ga. -- As Ovidio and Domitina Mendez drove back from their children's medical appointment, they noticed police cars parked outside their house.
Note: The big problem is the State provides everything to foster strangers, but does nothing to help bio parent's. Stop the Destruction of Families, whether their illegal immigrant's or American citizens.

NH Budget cuts force a rethinking of child abuse, neglect
Budget cuts force a rethinking of child abuse, neglect - NashuaTelegraph.com:
The economic downturn and rising deficits have forced states and communities across the country to rethink budgets and prioritize services. In New Hampshire, one result has been the reduction or wholesale elimination of public investment in the prevention of child abuse and neglect.
For example, Division for Children, Youth and Families voluntary prevention funds – designed to assist and support families who self-identify in crisis – were eliminated from the budget. Incentive funds, designed to prevent abuse and support children in every county, also were eliminated from the budget.
Comment: It really doesn't matter that the prevention fund's and the incentive funds to prevent abuse and to offer services to the families was cut because the people weren't getting the services anyway. If you go to the Governors web-site and check out the Transparency report's, you'll see there was no money going to these programs. Not only does the Transparency report's tell the story, talk to families in and around Nashua who were never offered services before their children were taken and still didn't get services to reunify their families. Maybe that's why the money was shifted somewhere else. DCYF didn't need it because they weren't following mandates.
Maybe Governor Lynch knew all along DCYF was NOT following federal mandates, so he put the money into other programs.
