Fighting CPS

The purpose of this blog is to provide updates on some of the cases I reported in my book (Fighting CPS: Guilty Until Proven Innocent of Child Protective Services Charges ISBN 9-780-9800061-6-2) that had not been resolved when the book went to press, and to report other cases where CPS is not working up to par. I’d also like to hear about cases in which Child Protective Services did the right thing so those cases can serve as examples of what should be done. Occasionally, I will report helpful tips and web sites with advice on fighting CPS.

The content below came to me from a friend and I felt it was important enough to pass on through this blog. Hopefully all the links will still work when posted. If they do not, try copy/pasting each link into your browser. Even the discussion of improvement is hopeful that some small part of the foster care system will improve.
Dear TexProtects Advocate:
On July 16, 2012, the Texas House of Representatives Committee on Human Services will hold a public hearing on the implementation of Foster Care Redesign . This will be a very interesting hearing in light of the recent announcement on who procured the contact to roll-out foster care redesign in DFPS Region 11 (Corpus Christi, the Valley), and Region 2/9 (Abilene, Wichita Falls, Midland, San Angelo).
The committee will meet to hear invited and public testimony on the following interim charge:
Monitor the implementation of Foster Care Redesign. Evaluate the mechanisms for monitoring and oversight, including rates, contracts, and client outcomes.
You can attend the hearing in person at the Texas Capitol at 10:00 a.m. on July 16th in E2. 030 of the Capitol Extension or you can view it on Texas House of Representatives website.
Capitol Complex Map | Capitol Extension, Second Floor (Room numbers beginning with E2)
To view it on the website go to: http://www.house.state.tx.us/ and select from the Video/Audio menu at the top of the banner, Committee Broadcasts. You will see the feed for the Human Services hearing listed once it has begun.
For further information on the hearing, please feel free to contact me at diana.texprotects.org.
Sincerely,
Diana Martinez
Director Public Policy and Education
