Children's Bureau Issues More Guidance on Federal Reimbursement for Legal Representation of Children and Parents
|
|
The Children's Bureau has issued a technical bulletin to answer stakeholder questions regarding a January 2019 policy change allowing federal reimbursement for a portion of the costs of legal representation for parents and children in child protection cases. Pre-2019 policy prevented Title IV-E funds from being used to compensate states for the cost of parent and child legal representation although funds were available for legal representation of the state agency. Questions from Title IV-E agencies and tribes led to this July 2020 bulletin explaining steps that states and tribes must take before claiming the funds, the process of reporting the costs of such representation, allowable sources of matching state funds, and, the possibility of contracting with private and public agencies for providing legal representation of children and parents. Funds may also be used for partial reimbursement of staff costs and short-term training of attorneys. The bulletin clarifies that costs of child and parent representation prior to removal are also qualified for reimbursement. Only the Title IV-E agency in each state may apply for the funds and distribute them to jurisdictions that compensate such attorneys. The Children's Bureau is a division of the Administration for Children, Youth, and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. To view the technical bulletin, click here. Previous bulletins can be found in TLC's Online Center under the topic Title IV-E Agency by going to "Resources" on the menu bar, then "Browse by Topic".

The Court Monitors Issued Their First Report in the Federal Class Action Suit on Behalf of Texas Foster Children
|
|
The court monitors assigned to oversee the Department of Family and Protective Services's compliance with the court order in M.D. v. Abbott, the federal class action lawsuit for the protection of children in the permanent managing conservatorship of the State, issued their first comprehensive report on June 16, 2020. After an extensive review, the Monitors concluded, "Although the State represented to the Monitors in September 2019 that, with few exceptions, Texas was compliant with the Court's remedial orders, the Monitors discovered otherwise: the results in some instances surfaced substantial threats to children's safety . . .[the] findings reveal a disjointed and dangerous child protection system, inefficiently and unsafely divided between two state agencies, where harm to children is at critical times overlooked, ignored, or forgotten." M.D. v. Abbott, Case No. 2:11-cv-00084, Doc. 869, 12 (June 16, 2020). Infractions by the State that the monitors cited include lack of response to hotline calls reporting abuse of children in foster care, failure to adequately oversee facilities, use of physical restraint, and abuse by "serial alleged perpetrators" who move from facility to facility. Id. at 13. In fact, according to the results of the review, "Texas's overdue, incomplete, and at times, incompetent investigations of child abuse or neglect betray the State's special relationship with, and responsibility to children, placing them at risk of future harm by perpetrators whose maltreatment of children goes unchecked. . . . . .The problem is systemic and enduring . . . as children's safety hangs in the balance."

The Kansas City Star Surveyed Inmates in 12 States Who Were Formerly in Foster Care and Found Long-Term Outcomes are Disturbing
|
|
In December 2019, The Kansas City Star published the results of a survey of inmates in 12 states who were formerly in foster care. The investigation resulted in a series of six stories and nine videos describing the stark outcomes for children in foster care. The newspaper contacted every state asking for participation in the survey. Twelve states agreed and distributed the one-page questionnaires to inmates.
The year-long investigation also took a comprehensive look at long-term outcomes for children who age out of the foster care system. It revealed the trauma that children suffer going into foster care and the need for trauma-informed services. Also interviewed were social workers, child welfare experts and advocates, law enforcement, judges, foster parents, doctors, scientists, and lawyers.
The Star team also reviewed decades of class action suits against states and child welfare budget statistics.
The stories are available here. The videos are available here.

Two News Organizations Took Four Years Investigating How Well States are Complying with the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act
|
|
In December 2019 The Boston Globe and ProPublica published an investigation into states' compliance with the federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act. They found that no state fully complies with the act's requirements. A team of journalists spent four years collecting records and creating two national databases, one of which is a state-by-state compliance assessment. The news story contains a clickable map to see how each state measures up in protecting drug-affected infants, providing representation for abuse victims in court, and producing public reports about the children who die there. The story is available here.

Title IV-E Funds May Now Be Used to Cover Costs of Attorneys for Children and Parents in CPS Cases
|
|
On January 7, 2019, the Children's Bureau (which is the federal agency that provides funding for and monitors child welfare agencies across the country) changed its policy regarding use of Title IV-E funds for the costs of foster care. The Bureau is now allowing IV-E agencies to claim as an administrative cost (to be paid at the rate of 50%) the cost of legal services for attorneys for children who are candidates for foster care or who are in foster care and for the children's parents. Previously, these funds could only be used for attorneys representing the Title IV-E agencies. The Bureau made this change in its Child Welfare Policy Manual, which contains questions and answers that apply to the child welfare programs, by deleting Question & Answer 8.1B#18 and replacing it with Question & Answer 8.1B#30. This means that federal funding is now available for legal services not only in the TMC phase of the case but also for children in the permanent managing conservatorship of the State.

On October 18, 2018, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its decision in M.D. v. Abbott, the class action suit brought on behalf of Texas foster children. While the appellate court affirmed the district court's ruling that the State caused constitutional harm and was deliberately indifferent to the class of foster children in regards to caseloads and management and oversight, the appellate court vacated parts of the district court's ruling that held that the State violated children's constitutional rights with regards to foster group homes, placement array, and other injunctive remedies.
