The judge warned the state could be held in contempt of court for not following through...
At the most recent court hearing, the judge admonished the state for not making children aware of their rights and for not taking adequate action over reports of abuse.
The report notes that the state’s child welfare agency also did not take appropriate action to protect kids in about 58 percent of cases where the agency suspected maltreatment or abuse. Jack also blasted the state for continuing to have children without placement, when the state cannot find a suitable placement for that child, requiring the Department of Family and Protective Services to provide temporary emergency care until a placement can be secured. Children without placement are more likely to have complex behavioral and mental health needs. The average number of children without placement went from 80 children per night in 2021 to 60 children per night in 2022.
