Child welfare in Georgia [2005]

STATE FISCAL YEAR 2005

CHILD WELFARE IN GEORGIA 2005
The Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) has overall responsibility for the administration and management of the State's public child welfare programs Child Protective Services, Foster Care, Independent Living Services, Family Support and Family Preservation Services and Adoptions. DFCS staff carries out a wide range of responsibilities that support the delivery of financial services and social services.
Organizational Structure
The Division of Family and Children Services is a state-administered, county operated system comprising 159 local county agencies. Within DFCS, there are twelve regional service areas each having many field operations that are responsible for the direct supervision of the local county agencies and all service programs in that area. The managers of field operations report directly to the Deputy Director of DFCS, who reports to the DFCS Division Director.
The Division of Family and Children Services has continued to plan aggressively for child welfare improvements. This planning has been carried out in partnership with an array of allied agencies, formal and informal collaboratives, care providers, consumers to include families, children and youth served, as well as with the involvement of the communities at large. Public and media attention to child welfare services in Georgia has resulted in opportunities for in-depth examination of current practice and new opportunities to design programs that will offer expedient, high quality services to children and families.
Child Protective Services
Children usually come to the attention of the Department of Family and Children Services when a concerned citizen, often a mandated reporter, makes a referral to the local county office. A decision is made as to whether or not the report meets the criteria for an investigation: there is a child under the age of eighteen, a known or suspected incident of maltreatment, and a maltreater. Some callers only need referrals to local resources (i.e. mental health, court system or preventive programs). All reports, whether or not they result in a CPS investigation, are referred, as required by O.C.G.A 19-7-5, to the local law enforcement agency. All screened-out reports are reviewed and approved by the supervisor to ensure that any case with specific allegations of maltreatment is not screened out for investigation.
In SFY 2005, there were 87,958 reports made to DFCS statewide. Of those reports, 15,952 were screened out for not meeting the criteria for investigation, and 72,006 were investigated. Compared to last year, these numbers reflect a decrease in the number of reports. Once an investigation is completed, the investigator and immediate supervisor make a determination about the status of the case.

A report is either substantiated or unsubstantiated, based on the amount of evidence available. If a case is substantiated, a preponderance of the evidence supports the allegations. Cases that are rated high risk or moderate risk for recurring abuse or neglect remain open for ongoing CPS services. If the case is low risk for further maltreatment, it will be closed. However, they may be referred to available resources for early intervention or other preventive services. If a case is unsubstantiated, there is either not a preponderance of evidence or no evidence to support the allegations. The case is then closed, unless the court has ordered the department to be involved.

The following graph depicts the number and types of cases investigated in SFY 2005 by determination:

On a whole, during SFY 2005 there were 101,584 children involved in DFCS investigations of maltreatment. This is a decrease of 9.20% since SFY 2004 (111,873). Sometimes families are investigated for more than one abuse/neglect incident in one year. Eleven

If children cannot be adequately protected in their own home, and they continue to be at risk of abuse and neglect by their parent or caretaker, the court may order temporary removal from the home. The first preference for an out of home placement is with relatives. If there are no available relatives in the area, or if relatives cannot ensure the child's continued protection, the child is placed in a foster home or emergency shelter.

Foster Parents and Foster Homes
In Georgia, there are approximately 4,102 foster homes and recruitment goes on continually throughout the state. Foster parents are recruited primarily by county DFCS staff. They look for prospective foster parents who are in good physical and mental health, with homes that meet the minimum standards set forth and approved by DHR. Foster parents provide temporary care for children, but if a foster child becomes available for adoption, the foster parents often adopt that child. In fact, foster parent adoptions account for approximately 91 percent of adoptions of children in DFCS custody.
Prior to being approved to foster, prospective foster parents must complete pre-service training. Physical exams, drug screens, and criminal record checks are required. Each year foster parents complete additional hours of parent development training; and a re-evaluation of the home is conducted.
The number of children placed in a foster home will range from one to six (including the parents' own children) and is predetermined by the foster parent and the DFCS agency. The foster parents are reimbursed for a child's care. The rate varies with the age and needs of child. During the first six months of care, initial clothing costs are reimbursed by the agency. The costs are $150 for a child whose age is birth through age 12 or $300 for a child whose age is 13 and older. An annual clothing allowance of $100 per year, and medical treatment
iv

costs are covered by the agency. A toll-free foster parent support and intake line (1-888-3108260) is available for foster parents and others wanting information about Georgia's foster care program.

At any one time there are approximately 14,000 children in the custody of DFCS. Figures 6, 7, and 8 depict the age, gender, and race of children in the custody of DFCS during SFY 2005.

At any given time, about 53% of the children in DFCS custody lives in a family foster home or emergency shelter. Approximately, 17% of the children live with relatives. Many children have special needs and are placed in intensive, intermediate or therapeutic settings, institutions, hospitals or group homes.

It is critical that a child spends as little time as possible in foster care. While in care, it is important that the child remains in the same out-of-home placement, if at all possible, as long as it meets the child's needs. Federal regulation specifies that the number of times a child
vi

moves while in foster care be reduced in tandem with an overall reduction in the length of time in foster care. Figure 10

Some children remain in foster care throughout their teen years. To date, over 4,621 youth are reported as eligible to receive services through the Independent Living Program, a transition program that prepares teens, ages 14-21, for independence and adulthood. Services include financial assistance for tutoring, college, technical school, supervised housing and life skills training such as budgeting, job seeking and job retention. During FFY 2005, 336
vii

youth were enrolled in some type of post-secondary training or college program and 584 secured full-time employment.

Children are discharged from foster care for many positive reasons. Five thousand four hundred thirty-five children were reunited with their parents after services during FY 2005. Many had permanent living arrangements made in a relative home, or were adopted.

Challenges for FY 2006 and Beyond Child Protective Services (CPS) has continued to draw on the community as a partner to
protect and serve the most vulnerable among us. The challenge is to find community partners willing to address the expanding needs of our families and develop community based solutions. Maximization of current resources must continue while recruiting others to help in our rewarding but difficult endeavors. Additional support from the Legislature is required to provide the services and meet the needs that our growing population deserves and requires.
Responding to the mandate placed on child welfare agencies to ensure reform in the child welfare field continues to be our priority and our challenge even while resources are lacking and there is a statewide staff shortage. However, we are confident that our best efforts will continue to result in providing the best services possible for families and children.

DATA SOURCES AND DEFINITIONS
The data contained within this report was extracted from the Internal Data System (IDS) and the Protective Services Data System (PSDS). Data elements corresponding to paragraphs (1) through (4) of HB 1406 (a) were drawn from PSDS except where noted. Data elements corresponding to paragraphs (5) through (12) in this report were drawn from IDS except where noted. Data elements referring to custody, placements, and discharges, used Federal AFCARS definitions.
Based on HB 1406, definitions were derived to compute the data elements. They are listed according to paragraph in HB 1406 (a).
(1) The number of children for whom a complaint was received was an unduplicated count of child records within each county. It is referred to as the "Number of children involved in CPS investigations" in the body of the report.
(2) General demographic data of children for whom a complaint was received were categorizations of the children in (1) by age, ethnicity, and gender.
(3) The number of children with at least one subsequent report within each county was a count of children for whom a subsequent investigation was conducted during the state fiscal year. It is referred to as the "Children investigated by CPS for an alleged repeat episode of maltreatment" in the body of the report.
(4) The response to reports by type of intervention was a count of active cases in PSDS and the count of CPS reports screened out from IDS. It is referred to as the "Number of reports made to Child Protective Services" in the body of the report. This total is then categorized by disposition (screened out, accepted for service, substantiated vs. unsubstantiated, and open vs. closed).
(5) The number of children entering custody was a count of children who were removed from their homes during the state fiscal year. Three additional data elements were computed. The number of children in custody at the beginning of the state fiscal year was a count of children with an active placement case as of the first day of the state fiscal year. The total number of children in custody during a state fiscal year was a count of children with an active placement case sometime during the state fiscal year. Finally, the number of children remaining in custody at the end of a state fiscal year was a count of children with an active placement case at the end of the state fiscal year.
(6) General demographic data of children who were removed from their homes during the state fiscal year were categorizations of the children by age, ethnicity, and gender.
(7) The number of placements of children in custody by type of placement was a breakdown of cases by placement type.
(8) The number of children by frequency of placement moves was a count of children by the number of placements they had, including their current placement.
(9) The frequency of placement changes according to placement settings was a categorization of cases in IDS by their current placement setting and by the number of placements they had, including their current placement.
(10) Length of time in custody by the number of children was computed as the count of children in custody by either the length of time from removal to discharge, or, for children not discharged, the length of time from removal to the end of the state fiscal year.
(11) Length of time in care by permanency decision was computed as the count of children in custody by either length of time from removal to discharge, or for children not discharged, the length of time from removal to the end of the state fiscal year.
(12) The number of children by type of permanency decision was the count of discharged children by the reason for their discharge.
