Legislators hope resignation of child welfare director brings fix to agency – Center Square

A joint statement from state Sens. Steve McClure and Sally Turner reads, in part, “As the recent compliance audit makes crystal clear, the issues with DCFS aren’t getting better; the situation actually appears to be getting worse. We hope the Governor takes this opportunity to finally fix the issues that plague DCFS and have led to heartbreaking stories of children waiting months for placements, or those who tragically have lost their lives.”
