Recent federal legislation strengthens children's and families' rights to family-centered practice by increasing the responsibility of child welfare agencies to identify and engage extended family members in providing care and support to children placed out of the home. Preliminary results from an experimental study of a federally funded family finding project found greater involvement of family kin, and informal supports and a higher likelihood of reunification or relative placement compared with standard child welfare services.

WASHINGTON - The government is investigating whether software companies that make cellphone apps violated the privacy rights of children by quietly collecting personal information from mobile devices and sharing it with advertisers and data brokers, the Federal Trade Commission said Monday. Such apps can capture a child's physical location, phone numbers of their friends and more. The FTC described the marketplace for mobile applications - dominated by online stores operated by Apple and Google - as a digital danger zone with inadequate oversight. In a report by the FTC's own experts, it said the industry has grown rapidly but failed to ensure the privacy of young consumers is adequately protected. The FTC did not say which or how many companies it was investigating.

State foster care systems are forcing many foster children to take high dosages of dangerous, mind-altering psychotropic medications. State actors have little medical background for each child and have limited time to diagnose disorders, thereby creating potential constitutional and human rights violations. States are only supposed to administer psychotropic medication to a child when necessary and in the child's best interest. Many children in foster care, however, are heavily medicated despite the difficulties of proving necessity. Those difficulties are due to a combination of diagnosis practice, the foster child's background, and the poor condition of state foster care systems. In light of these limitations and the potential for using medication solely to curb bad behavior, such hig...
At times, it seemed to everyone that the Baby Vanessa custody case would never end -- either the eight-day custody hearing or the nearly three-year legal battle that spanned two states. Now both sides agree that the settlement reached last week is what's best for the little girl -- giving her stability while allowing her to become part of her extended birth family, including two older sisters, Heaven, 4, and Amiya, 6, who she has never met.
