Arizona Legislature Better Work On Improving Economic and Social Policy, Pretty Quickly


The Legislature wants to know why Arizona child welfare is so messed up, but the public should be the ones to know the real story.

To quench the public thirst for the answer of why Arizona treats its children for poorly, I proudly extend my hand to walk you down memory lane of child welfare in Summer of 2015.

Instead of technical language which many elected officials and staff have no clue as to what it means or measures, I have provided that snapshot of Summer 2015, Arizona style with the compiled work of Legally Kidnapped.

If you are in need of more stories in any type of child welfare subject matter, just go to Legally Kidnapped and look it up.

It's quick, simple, and does not have that whitewashed mumble jumble that I am highly trained to see through.

There are 17000 Arizona children in foster care, a new record.

Perhaps the State of Arizona Legislature might want to revisit its social and economic policies with a tad bit more scrutiny because the shit it is doing now, is only going to get worse, as cited in the assessment audit.
