Florida Uses Kids For Politics

The State of Florida is parading around in the news that it has been rated in the top 5 as one of the best state child welfare systems.

I found this 2012 Right For Kids Survey to be quite odd considering that I never heard of this before and the fact that Florida's child welfare system is not doing so well with how it treats its kids and how it deals with its contracts as shown below.


The Florida Department of Children and Families (Florida, DCF)appeals a determination by the Administration for Children andFamilies (ACF) disallowing $1,076,006 in federal financialparticipation (FFP) for the period January 1, 2002 though March31, 2005. Florida claimed this FFP in the costs of trainingpersons for employment as social workers with private agenciesthat deliver foster care services under contract with Florida. Florida claimed the costs as training expenses under the fostercare program of title IV-E of the Social Security Act (Act), forwhich the Act provides 75% reimbursement. ACF disallowed Florida’s claims at the 75% rate on the ground that funding fortitle IV-E training costs is not available for training persons for employment at private agencies.

Upon further investigation I found that the Right For Kids Survey, which only began this year, named Florida to be in the top of states with the best child welfare system, to be out of Florida.

The name of the group is the Foundation For Government Accountability who is linked up with conservative backers of the Parental Rights Amendment which has nothing to do with parental rights.  It has to do with a propaganda cover up campaign to continue doing what it has always been doing.  Selling chattel.
