Industry = Non Profit

Press Release Summary = IN 2004 CPI PROTECTIVE INVESTIGATIONS STATED THAT WHEN THIS
BECOMES PRIVATIZED THAT ALL IT WILL DO IS GIVE CASE WORKERS LESS CASE LOAD,HIGHER
PAY AND THEY BECOME ON THE LEVEL OF GOD.THE STATES PURPOSE IS SOLE REUNIFACATION
WITH THE PARENT IF THEY HAVE REMOTLY COMPLETED PART OF THEIR CASE PLAN IN YEAR TO
DATE.THIS MEANS A GREAT NUMBER OF CHILDREN WILL WIND UP DEAD OR STILL LIVING IN
NEGLECT OR SOME FORM OF ABUSE.THESE WORDS HAVE HAPPENED.FEB 2005 SENATOR SMITHS
OFFICE CONFIRMED THAT SINCETHE SYSTEM HAS BEEN PRIVATIZED THAT FUNDING FOR THE
ENTIRE YEAR HAD ALREADY BEEN FULLY EXHAUSTED.

Press Release Body = ACCORDING TO 2004 CENSOR OF GILCREST COUNTY ALONE 16,024
POPULATION 47.3% WERE RELATIVES HEADING UP HOUSEHOLDS.THESE RELATIVES ARE ILL
INFORMED OF THE RECOURSES AVAILABLE TO THEM.IN THE 8TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT MANY
CHILDREN IN RELATIVE PLACEMENT LACK A GUARDIAN ADLITUM.THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT
A CHILD IN RELATIVE PLACEMENT IS CONSIDERED \"SAFE\".THE CHILDREN AND THE RELATIVE
PROVIDING CARE ARE THE ONES WHO SUFFER FROM THIS LACK OF REPRESENTATION IN THE COURT
SYSTEM. RELATIVES HAVE NO HELP TO NEGOTIATE THE CONFUSING LEGAL SYSTEM .ARE OFTEN
UNAWARE OF COURT DATES PERTAININGTO THEIR CHILDS CASE.THE CHILD HAS NO VOICE AT THE
VARIOUS COURT DATES SO THEIR BEST INTEREST IS NOT REPRESENTED.THERE IS A TREMENDOUS
LACK IN FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR RELATIVES RAISING CHILDREN;OFTEN THEY DO NOT RECEIVE
BACK CHILD SUPPORT OWED BEFORE ANY PUBLIC ASSISTANCE BEGAN BEING PAID.ONLY CASE
WORKERS CAN SUBMITT PAPER WORK ON RECEIVING TNA FUNDING,WHICH YOU ALSO MUST BE
LISTED IN HAVING TO RECEIVE CHILD CARE BENIFITS. RELATIVES ARE MADE TO FEEL THAT IF
THEY ASK FOR ASSISTANCE THEY ARE AT RISKS OF THE CHILDREN PLACED IN FOSTER CARE
BECAUSE THE CASE WORKERS FEEL THEY ARE UNABLE TO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THE CHILD. THIS
CREATES A SITUATION IN RURAL COUNTIES AS WELL AS CITIES. REALITIVES ARE TRYING TO
RAISE THESE CHILDREN ON MEAGER INCOMES.REALITIVES 60 AND OVER SOCIAL
SECURITY.ANOTHER PROBLEM FACED IN RURAL AREAS MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT ADEQUATELY
LITERATE. SOME CAN NOT READ OR WRITE.THIS SITUATION MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR
RELATIVES TO UNDERSTAND THEIR RIGHTS WHEN HAVING TO RESEARCH AND READ THEM ON THEIR
OWN;IT ALSO MAKES IT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOME RELATIVES TO BE ABLE TO PROPERLY
COMPLETE THE LEGALISTIC PAPERWORK INVOLVED WHEN TRYING TO OBTAIN FUNDS THAT MAY BE
AVAILABLE TO THEM. THE REASONS FOR SO MANY RELATIVES RAISING CHILDREN IN RURAL AREAS
AND THE STATE ARE
MANY.ABUSE,ABANDONMENT,AIDS,DEATH,DIVORCE,INCARCERATION,NEGLECT,MENTAL
ILLNESS,PHYSICAL INCAPABILITY,SUBSTANCE ABUSE,TEEN PARENTING,TRAGEDIES ALREADY TO
THE FAMILY AND THE RELATIVES ,WHICH LEADS TO RELATIVE CARE,BUT ONE REASON CAN OFTEN
BE TRACED BACK TO THE EARLY LIFE OF THE PERSON LOSING CUSTODY.MANY
DISABILITIES,LEARNING DISORDERS ARE NOT UNDERSTOOD ,MIS DAIGNOISED IN THE SCHOOL
SYSTEM AND YOUNG PEOPLEDO NOT GET THE EDUCATIONAL TRAINING THEY NEED ESPECAILLY IF
THEY ARE IN THE DROP OUT PREVETION PROGRAMS.THIS LEADS TO LOW SELF ESTEEM AND OFTEN
THES YOUNG PEOPLE DROP OUT OF SCHOOL.MANY OF THEM GO ON TO MINIMUM WAGE JOBS,WHEN
CHILDREN COME INTO THE PICTURE POVERTY PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE IN NOT BEING ABLE TO
PROPERLY CARE FOR THE CHILDREN.OFTEN THEN REALITIVES BECOME THE PRIMARY CARE GIVERS
OF THESE CHILDREN.INSIDE STATE OR OUTSIDE.WHEN RELATIVES STEP INTO BECOMING THE
GUARDIAN OF THESE CHILDREN,THAT RELATIVE SHOULD BE WELL INFORMED OF ALL THE AVAIABLE
RESOURCES.THERE NEEDS TO BE CHANGES IN THE WAY RELATIVES ARE VEIWED WITHIIN THE DCF
SYSTEM,OFTEN EVEN CASE WORKERS ARE NOT FULLY AWARE OF THE RIGHTS A RELATIVE STILL
DOES HAVE.THE MANY CHILDREN IN THE SYSTEMBEING CARED FOR BY RELATIVES ARE STANDING
IN NEED OF CARING PEOPLE TO BECOME THEIR VOICE.
