Posted at 9:40am on Feb. 6, 2008 DHS fails kids, Granholm fails taxpayers (and Ralph Nader) and Dem racial politics go local

Turns out that when a department is broken in the Granholm administration it stays broken for a long time.  Unfortunately that's true of departments that deal with Michigan's most vulnerable children, too.  Despite an August 2007 leadership change at the Department of Human Services the part of state government responsible for overseeing the placement and appropriate treatment of foster children has a spectacularly bad recent track record, not only failing to take care of kids like Ricky Holland but failing to even fulfill legal requirements for basic safety checks.

According to this morning's Ivory Tower hundreds of children were placed with out a single follow-up visit despite that pesky little thing we like to refer to as "the law."  It's no surprise then that there's a giant lawsuit and that things aren't looking very good.

Policy states that caseworkers make two face-to-face contacts with children during their first month in foster care. But caseworkers did not make any contacts in 31 percent of the 460 cases analyzed by the Children's Research Center.

Experts said about 41 percent of children were moved at least three times during foster care.
