It's a miracle: Democrats discover DCYF crisis

It's a miracle: Democrats discover DCYF crisis | New Hampshire:
Democrats in the New Hampshire House have miraculously discovered that New Hampshire’s Division of Children, Youth and Families is in dire need of reform. 

My Comment: DCYF has needed reform since Gov. Lynch was in office. In 2003 as well as 2010, DCYF failed it's Government assessments, but the Federal funding kept rolling in. Neither Lynch nor Kelly Ayotte did anything to reform DCYF then.

 In the past four years, the Republican's have been stopped by their Speaker of the House. The Speaker who put an end to the Redress of Grievance Committee. The Republican's have been well aware for at least the past eleven years that DCYF reform is badly needed. They sat and listened in shock, as parents and grandparents relayed and showed proof,of the nightmare's they've suffered due to the abuses they've gone through at the hands of DCYF and the Family Court.

The Redress Committee was "supposed" to help the people who testified. Their Petitions "Founded" and recommendations made by the Legislature. But that's as far as it went. They still wait in limbo hoping for a miracle. Hoping that someone, somewhere, will rectify their suffering and bring their ILLEGALLY  adopted out children home!

Study shows foster care may be bad for children’s health

Study shows foster care may be bad for children’s health | Knowridge Science Report:

Children who have been in the U.S. foster care system are at a significantly higher risk of mental and physical health problems than children who haven’t been in foster care, according to a University of California, Irvine sociologist. The problems range from learning disabilities, developmental delays and depression to behavioral issues, asthma and obesity.                                                                                 .........Our findings also present serious implications for pediatricians by suggesting that foster care placement is a risk factor for health problems in childhood.”

Grieving grandfather seeks Trump's ear on child abuse:

Arkansas Senator Issues “Child Welfare Manifesto” – Child Abuse Perpetrated by the State Must Stop:

As an Arkansas State Senator, Alan Clark has taken seriously his responsibility to hear the voice of the people in his state. When citizens brought the story of the Stanley family to his attention, he investigated. Homeschooling parents Hal and Michelle Stanley’s 7 children were removed from their home one cold night in January 2015, over false allegations that they were poisoning their children with an unapproved mineral substance. The children have since been returned home, but their lives were turned upside down.
