Division of Children and Family Services  under DHS in Arkansas.
The children and family service in Arkansas needs more supervising. CASA has many good people working in the system they are the courts eyes and ears. I seems when something goes wrong it is usually read bad.
DCFS stated goals are to protect the children and reunite the families many times they wind up hurting the good families and place the children dangerous places. When ask about what happen they just replay the place is certified. When protecting our children the up most care must be taken.

  In the Arkansas children have died while in DCFS care. This needs not to be acceptable. Folks the real problem is the Government has our kids.  

Before I end this not some one that just works in the field. it is Saline County Director  of CASA Jackie Perkins,
