Elmer Clay Jorgensen (1937 - 2011)

In the past week, I discovered that Dr. E. Clay Jorgenson of Washington passed away. I am saddened by this news. Dr. Jorgenson was an ethical, honest person. I have no doubt that he helped many families & children in the Spokane area during his psychology career.

OKC man arrested for alleged lewd acts with child



According to the news story,
 OKC man arrested for alleged lewd acts with child,
A metro man living in a foster home was arrested ... for lewd acts with a child....

A spokesperson with the Department of Human Services said the suspect, 25-year-old James Percifield, and his wife were living in the home of a foster parent.

To do that they were required to receive foster parent training, a background check and their fingerprints were taken.

Number of State Wards Decreases Thanks to New Model

According to a story by Nebraska TV, Number of State Wards Decreases Thanks to New Model, there has been a decline in the number of children in foster care. As indicated in the article,
the director of  Children and Family Services in the Department of Health and Human Services ... attributed the decrease to two areas of focus: a new assessment model used to initially assess the risk facing children reported to CFS; and returning custody to parents whose children have been safely living at home.
