News came out today regarding the State of California budget cuts effecting foster children. A story from KGET http://www.kget.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=346d8cd8-b71f-49ea-8065-0d03dfbe4f3b details the information.
Abused and neglected children that enter foster care have had enough trauma. It is apparent that the State is far removed from the plight of foster children and over-worked case workers. What children need is more not less. The average foster child has few people in their corner. They need someone to fight for them and a social worker, a competent and compassionate one, is a key player in the life of a child. If social worker positions are cut the State must find alternative methods to advocate for children.
Please get involved in being a voice for children that don't have a mom or dad sticking up for them. Contact your representative or legislator and request that funding for foster children remain in tact. The future belongs to our children so let us invest in their lives today.
