<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Can't remember if you have Texas info, but: In TX
they can and do order services as a result of confirmed/substantiated
abuse/neglect both when the children are and are not removed from the
home. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>One of the problems that we see in families whose children
have been removed and are mandated to services is TOO many services being
ordered. I am working with a mother right now whose situation is that
three of her four children have been removed. She has been mandated
to: Alcohol & Drug treatment; Assessment & services from
MHMR; 24 weeks Anger Management; 15 weeks Parenting Classes;
Individual Counseling; Random UA's; Psych evaluations;
Attend/participate in a support group for parents of children who have been
molested; pay child support. The services were ordered at the
end April with a August 1 completion date. With our agency alone she
will have to attend Parenting classes on Tuesdays; Anger Management on
Wednesdays; Individual Counseling on Thursdays and support group on
Saturdays...which interferes with her visitation with her children (which she
was also ordered to do). She has AA & NA on Mondays and goes to MHMR
on Tuesdays. It seems a lot more like a Failure Plan vs. a Family Service
Plan! I don't know if it is like this all over the state, but in our area
it is a problem. The entire removal was based on abuse allegations by (get
ready for this...) the mother's abuser, the father of her children and the man
who sexually molested the two youngest. In addition, the mother had been
in hiding from the father w/ a Protective Order....only now he has all of her
information (address, phone, work, etc) because it is on all the court
documents. He now regularly calls, drives by and harasses her at
work. Unfortunately this is pretty common here in my region.</FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I stand corrected. According to a staff person at
the NY State Office of Children and Families they can order services as a
result of a substantiated abuse and neglect report even if the child is not
placed in foster care. So the tally so far is ---everyone I have heard from
(add Vermont )but AZ can order services--including 2 provinces in Canada.
Thanks for the help. Please keep the information coming. It will be very
helpful.</FONT></P>
