Foster Kids Telling their Stories
February 4th, 2015 by Mike Vasilinda
More than a hundred foster children and the people who take care of them were in the State Capitol today, letting lawmakers know what could make their stay with the Department of Children and Families more pleasant. Kurt Kelly is the CEO of the foundation that overseas foster care.
“We really want, from child welfare this year, we think it’s important for the children to tell their stories. .Some of the successes, some of their concerns, some of the areas we need support on.”
Rachel Gomez has spent the last four years in Foster care and is telling lawmakers the system needs more stability. “Well, I’ve had a lot of caseworker change and we would like more training and everything so we can have more stability and one case worker for our whole entire stay in the system.”
A House committee will spend half a day next week listening to concerns at DCF.
