A look at foster care in 3 SW Ohio counties
Akron Beacon Journal, March 24, 2008.
(Akron,OH) A look at foster parent recruiting in three southwest Ohio counties:
RECRUITING: Hamilton, Butler and Clermont counties have recruitment campaigns to build up the number of foster homes and foster parents.
THE CHILDREN: About 850 children in foster care in Hamilton County, about 350 each in Butler and Clermont counties.
BACKGROUND CHECKS: Were stepped up following the death in August 2006 of a 3-year-old boy who was bound and left in a closet for two days. The foster parents were convicted of his murder. Investigators later found the couple's background should have raised numerous red flags about their fitness to be foster parents.
