DHS Asks For Help With Thousands Of Foster Children
DHS Asks For Help With Thousands Of Foster Children
DHS says it needs help with the thousands of foster care kids who are in state custody and need a home. During the Christmas holiday News 9 told you about a program which granted temporary custody so children wouldn't have to spend the holiday alone.
Note: Perhaps Oklahoma should try this approach. http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2012/02/23/childrens-services-hot-line-volume-soars.html
Not stealing so many kids is the only solution to an overwhelming number of kids in foster care.

I love it when Ms Tran gets all worked up.
Durring one of her rants against the unethical tactics of the Child Protective Industry in Michigan, our beloved Ms Tran came up with the brilliant idea that we give a System Suck Award to the most deserving System Sucks all across the USA and that these awards be hand delivered to such System Sucks so that they know that we care about the work they do (although not necessarily in the way that we do).
67 % of Detroit Kids Live In High Poverty Because Of System Sucks
So I will be creating this award later on, but let the nominations begin. The System Suck Award nominations should be sent to myself or Ms Tran. Names and contact info should be included so that the awards can be presented. Preferably the System Sucks name, phone number and mailing address and the reason that they are so deserving of such a prestigious award.
