With the way the economy is it's only going to get worse for the families that are abusing their children, they will have the added stress of money and trying to find a job. It's cyclical and taking money out of the foster care program will hurt even more. Don't know what to say, can you contact your local rep and ask him if he can read a letter in front of the legislature, when it's his turn? _________________ Build a bridge and get over it!

Sat Feb 02, 2008 8:42 am  Al Garcia F L I N T O I D thanks for the support. Yes, Ive been in contact with state legislative members and the Governor as well. We will fight the fight until the vote this spring. Services and programs for our most vulnerable kids are whats at risk here. Residental care is really the only other alternative, often at 4 or 5 times the cost to taxpayers then foster placements. A state DHHS Offical even told me that if 10% of Maine children if foster homes were turned back, the state of Maine would have a major major placement crisis. I have been the Director of 3 different rsidential programs including a program for our most sexually aggresive children. There are not enough residential beds right now. Much less when some of our most challenging kids that are in foster homes are returned. Once again.....thanks for the support from back home. _________________ WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU PEOPLE DONE TO MY HOMETOWN? I KNEW I SHOULD OF HIRED A BABYSITTER!
