US: Florida Department of Children & Families Needs Foster Kids Plan


A study from the Children’s Bureau, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has found that the Florida Department of Children and Families is underperforming related its care of foster children in several critical areas. HHS reviewed 80 such cases and has given the state 90 days to deliver a plan to improve its delivery of care.

From removal of kids from homes under the order of child welfare agencies “without first providing appropriate services and were lax in following safety plans” to “struggling to provide counseling and therapy for every foster kid who needs them,” state services were found wanting, according to a Tampa Bay Times article on the study.

“This holds up a light to the people in the state and helps us see how our agency is doing,” Robin Rosenberg, deputy director of Florida’s Children First, told the Times. “For so many areas to be falling below standard is a wakeup call.”
