CHILD WELFARE IN GEORGIA 2008
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. As of the end of the state fiscal year, DFCS had seventeen regional service areas each having field operations responsible for the direct supervision of the local county agencies and all service programs in that region. The regional managers report to the Deputy Director of Field Operations, 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 collaborators, care providers, and consumers including families, children, youth served, and concerned citizens. As a result of public and media attention to child welfare services, Georgia has opportunities to examine current practice and 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 (e.g., 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 investigated.
Georgia began a new practice of responding to reports through Diversion during SFY 2006. Since that time, the number of CPS cases accepted for service has decreased substantially. Diversion is a differential response that emphasizes the utilization of strengthsbased, prevention-driven community response to vulnerable children and families. It is presented as an option to assist families when the safety of children is not in question. Diversion response provides targeted support and linkage to community resources to meet identified needs.
During SFY 2008, DFCS received 87,864 reports statewide. Of those reports, 14,926 were screened out as not meeting the criteria for investigation; 39,736 were handled through
i

diversion; and 33,202 were investigated. Compared to the preceding 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.

Two findings are made on each report that is investigated: (1) a maltreatment finding and (2) a risk finding. If a case is substantiated, a preponderance of the evidence supports the allegation. If a case is unsubstantiated, there is either no evidence or not a preponderance of the evidence to support the allegations. The risk findings are: (1) risk indicated case opened for services, (2) risk indicated case opened for placements, (3) risk factors controlled, (4) no significant risk factors, and (5) risk assessment not applicable.
The following graph depicts the number and types of cases investigated in SFY 2008 by determination:

During SFY 2008, 49,620 children were involved in DFCS investigations of maltreatment. This was a 34% decrease from SFY 2007 (74,890). Sometimes families are investigated for
ii

more than one abuse/neglect incident in a single year. DFCS received 2,791 reports of alleged repeat incidents of maltreatment during the year.

If children cannot be adequately protected in their own home and 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 5,119 foster homes. Recruitment goes on continually throughout the state. County DFCS staff are responsible for recruiting foster parents. They look for prospective foster parents who are in good physical and mental health with homes that meet the minimum standards as 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 81 percent of adoptions of children in DFCS custody.
Prior to being approved as foster parents, applicants must complete pre-service training. Physical exams, drug screens, and criminal record checks. 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
iv

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 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.

Foster Care Services

There were 19,462 children who were in the custody of DFCS during SFY 2008. At any one point-in-time there were approximately 11,200 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 2008.

At any given time, about 47% of the children in DFCS custody live in a family foster home or emergency shelter. Approximately, 23% 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
vi

as it meets the child's needs. Federal regulation specifies that the number of times a child moves while in foster care be reduced in tandem with an overall reduction in the length of time in foster care.

Some children remain in foster care throughout their teen years. Over 6,361 youth were 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 2008, 541 youth were enrolled in some type of post-secondary training or college program and 649 were employed full or part-time for 90 days or more.

Children are discharged from foster care for many positive reasons. During SFY 2008 3,757 children were reunited with their parents after services. Many exited care with permanent living arrangements made in a relative home, or were adopted.

*Adoptions finalized are reported from AFCARS. Some variation may occur from the number of children who had a finalized adoption from the Adoptions Unit.

Adoptions

Prior to the implementation of the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) in Georgia, there were less than 500 finalized adoptions per year. In SFY 2008, 1,284 children were placed in adoptive homes and 1,273 adoptions were finalized**.

Challenges for FY 2008 and Beyond Child Protective Services (CPS) has continued to draw on the community resources 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 communitybased 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 is 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 are categorizations of the children in (1) by age, race/ethnicity, and gender.
(3) The number of children with at least one subsequent report within each county is 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 is a count of active cases in PSDS, cases diverted to other services, 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.
