This is not an isolated incident, it happens all across our country. Our grandchildren we stolen by DHS and adopted away from us!

We are just not understanding why it is that a grandmother known as Rose Lucas can get the attention of a state Senator, who helped her to get her grandchildren back from DHS. Yes, we don't know the circumstances of her case but we do know the facts of ours.

The government has a responsibility to protect children when their families can't. It seems so simple, until it has to be done.

Certainly, there are times when the government must intervene to deal with abuse or neglect. But removing a child should generally be seen as the last resort. When agencies focus too heavily on foster-care placement, they risk not only overburdening staff, but also losing perspective on what ensuring family well-being really means.

Gov. Schwarzenegger praises the reversal by the 2nd District Court of Appeal as a victory for students and parental rights.

Parents may legally home-school their children in California even if they lack a teaching credential, a state appellate court ruled today.

An appeals court in California has ruled that state law does permit homeschooling as a species of private school education but that statutory permission for parents to teach their own children could be overridden in order to protect the safety of a child.

The long-awaited case resolves many of the questions that had developed in homeschooling circles across the nation when the same court earlier found that parents had no such rights - statutorily or constitutionally - in California.

Chimpanzees take better care of their young than the State of Indiana, and they use only their natural instincts. How much training does it take to figure out that a two-year-old who tested positive for methamphetamine is not safe in his home?

We, the taxpayers, demand that DCS perform the duties they have been hired to perform. Susan Tielking is a waste of office space. Her job is to recite the same old, "state confidentiality rules prohibit her from revealing specifics about the case." Our legislators must remove "confidentiality" from any and all juvenile cases. Then we can kick Susan to the curb.

Texas child welfare officials on Tuesday asked a court to order foster care for eight children at a polygamous compound, saying their mothers have refused to limit the children's contact with men suspected of being involved in underage marriages.

Child Protective Services officials also asked the court to end cases for 32 children after finding no evidence that their families engaged in underage marriages. The agency has been investigating the Yearning for Zion Ranch in Eldorado since April, when it raided the compound and seized more than 400 children on allegations of physical and sexual abuse.

During this year's regular session, the West Virginia Legislature considered, but did not pass, a bill designed to improve social worker safety.

The bill would have increased criminal penalties for those who commit felony or misdemeanor assault and battery on child protective or adult protective service workers in the field. The Legislature this year did pass a bill providing adult and child protective services workers personal immunity from civil liability, meaning that they cannot be sued for doing their job.

Currently Arkansas Department of Human Services is investigating four child deaths. Each of the four children died in the last two months. This happened after years of no foster child deaths in the state.

Delancy was one of 9,000 kids living in foster care in Arkansas. She says her experience was mostly bad. "I've been raped in one foster home. I've been beaten in the other one; I've been starved in one," describes Delancy.

A federal judge has scheduled a hearing for preliminary approval of a court settlement that would mean sweeping changes in Michigan's child welfare system.

Terms of the settlement call for a drastic decrease in workers' caseloads, an increased push to find permanent homes for Michigan's 6,000 legal orphans and the hiring of an outside monitor to oversee the changes.
