[QUOTE="klmno, post: 437827, member: 3699"] thank you DJ & DDD!! It really stinks that dss has group homes and therapeutic foster homes but is now not allowed to place any kid in them unless/until all extended family members refuse the kid first. Why? It saves funding that way. None of these systems are doing things because it's in a kid's best interest- just another situation where they put a spin on words about to convince the public that they are "trying to prevent having to put a kid in the system" so the public assumes it's because that's in the best interest of the kid. In a very general sense, yes of course it is, but when the kid is already in a system, this hoovers because then the truth comes out- it's really about cost. Department of Juvenile Justice doesn't want him incarcerated due to funding, CSU (even though they come under Department of Juvenile Justice funding, they only get a designated portion or pool) wants the family to foot the whole bill and when their orders don't work, they get the kid back incarcerated so it stops coming from their pool of money. If they quit spending money hiring more people to do this kind of koi, they'd have money to spend on the kids. OK that was my vent for the day. [/QUOTE]
