From the Rock Hill Herald:
Commission officials reported that since the 1980s, the number of children in foster care doubled nationwide, partly because of increasingly fragile families and also as a result of economic problems. Evidence at a recent congressional hearing indicated the failure by state welfare agencies to ensure children's safety.
"No state passed that test and this is unacceptable," Rep. Wally Herger, R-Calif., chairman of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Human Resources, noted in a statement that pledged the Pew Commission proposals would be considered as a solution.
Good for you Wally. Let's hope that the Pew Commission proposals are taken seriously and the idea of more privatization doesn't suddenly spring up.
