D.C. child services: Legitimate concerns and complex challenges

Roque Gerald Washington

Sunday, January 16, 2011 

Over the past few weeks, there have been a number of opinions expressed on this page regarding child welfare and child protection in the District ["Taking toys from foster kids won't fix D.C. child services," Jan. 9; "Three years after Banita Jacks, has anything really changed?," Jan. 2; "Sacred cows in D.C.'s child services budget," Dec. 26]. Many criticisms of the imperfect system here and nationally are valid. At the D.C. Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA), we certainly acknowledge the legitimacy of many of these criticisms. But the critics and advocates do not agree on appropriate solutions, and even the most well-intended opinions do not confront the full range of issues affecting child welfare nationally, and especially locally, in all their complexity. 

The CFSA is working to address many of the concerns that have been expressed. While we have reduced placements into traditional group homes by 30 percent, we still place too many children in these environments, and we need loving families to volunteer to provide foster care for our children and youths. A reduction of the number of children placed in residential treatment centers, from an all-time high of 148 in 2007 to a historic low of 44 in 2010, still results in many youths entering these facilities. By improving our initial practices, we have also dramatically reduced the rate of children entering foster care as a result of calls to the hot line reporting child abuse and neglect, from one in five to one in 10, but we are not satisfied with that rate, which remains high compared with those of other jurisdictions. 

There are further local challenges that must be taken into account. The situation in the District is affected, among other things, by high poverty and teen pregnancy rates compared to those of the states, resulting in many mothers, mostly single, who are unprepared to provide adequate support and care for their families. The current economic climate, local and federal legislative mandates - both funded and unfunded - and court-directed processes all contribute to the challenges for the CFSA and its partners in developing the strongest possible safety net for those we serve.  There are further local challenges that must be taken into account.

The current economic climate, local and federal legislative mandates - both funded and unfunded - and court-directed processes all contribute to the challenges for the CFSA and its partners in developing the strongest possible safety net for those we serve. 

But we know we must push for continued improvement, and Mayor Vincent Gray's vision of "One City" provides an excellent framework for open discourse and development of lasting solutions that strengthen the local safety net. At the CFSA, we must do our part by deepening our commitment to address these issues, in collaboration with our partners. Constructive discussion that identifies system strengths and seeks solutions to the deeply rooted social ills that place children at risk has never been more necessary than at this critical economic time. 

True community development includes investments in infrastructure and human capital. A return to civility in our discourse can help in avoiding complacency and feelings of defeat stemming from the challenges. The child welfare system will benefit most by accepting valid criticism that also acknowledges the social challenges and systemic improvements that form the real-world context for further growth.

No child should be injured by a family or by the system designed to protect him or her. But no system can function at its best in a climate that does not allow for a dialogue involving realistic expectations and balanced, constructive criticism. The Child and Family Services Agency must continue to improve its transparency so that public input and community support can contribute to its ability to fulfill its mission as a critical member of the "One City" safety net

Amber Portwood - Teen Mom & CPS Update

‘Teen Mom’ Amber Portwood Reportedly Reunited With Daughter Leah 

First published november 30 2010 2:33pm eastern Time Access Hollywood

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. --

“Teen Mom” star Amber Portwood is reportedly back together with her baby girl.
The 20-year-old mom was reunited with her 2-year-old daughter, Leah, on Monday, after Indiana officials returned the toddler to her mom, according to Us Weekly.


“Leah is moving into Amber’s new home, where Amber had her daughter’s bedroom all set up for her return,” a source told the mag. “Amber is so excited to have Leah back!”

Radar Online reported last week that Leah was temporarily made a “ward of the state,” meaning it was up to a judge to determine the child’s guardianship.

Leah had been placed with her father — Amber’s ex-fiance, Gary Shirley – the couple’s tumultuous relationship has been well chronicled on MTV’s “Teen Mom” series.  Amber herself previously admitted that having her daughter live with her dad was in the child’s best interest.

“Child Protective Services agreed it was safer for her to stay at Gary’s because of all the photographers outside my house,” she told Us Weekly earlier this month.
It’s been a rocky road for the reality mom.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com in early November, Amber had been charged with two felony counts and one misdemeanor count of domestic violence and battery, for her alleged actions against Gary.  Additionally, NBC News’ “Today” show reported in October that authorities had launched a full investigation into Amber, after she was seen kicking and punching Gary on the MTV show while their daughter was in the room.

Amber tearfully spoke about the violence with Dr. Drew Pinsky on a “Teen Mom” reunion show on MTV, where she claimed she didn’t remember hitting her ex multiple times.

“I feel like I hit him one time,” she told Dr. Drew, while crying. “And then I watched [the fight] and I’m like hitting him multiple times.”
