In Arizona, Child Protective Agencies want to set up a place for children who have been abused rather than all of them being put into foster parent homes. They want to make child advocacy centers for children who are taken out of the care of their parents. They believe that this is a great way to help all those children who are being abused. Instead of children being ignored and neglected by CPS, they are trying to reform in order to be able to help all children. They want to be sure that children are now safe and that those who abuse them face consequences.
Along with this advocacy center they want to hire people with law enforcement experience and also those who can recognize when a child is being abused. They would then give the case to police who will see if a crime of abuse has been committed. By doing this reform it would get more police involved and more children will be safer. Another part that they want to change is getting more training for social workers. By having more social workers with better training children will be safer. They will also be able to go into home to check on children's safety when abuse is suspected and parents won't let them in.
I feel that this is a great way to change how children are protected. By having more training for social workers they are more knowledgeable about what should be done in certain situations. This change will be for the better of all children because they will be helped more effectively than they have before. Also by having child advocacy centers for abused children, this will allow more children to come into the system where they will be safer. This way all children will not be crammed into foster homes and they will not have to search to find homes for these abused children to go. Therefore, I believe that this is a great reform that is really going to help all children in a positive way.
