Safe Passage for Children of Minnesota has delivered hard news on what appear to be terrible practices guiding child protection in our community. This comes at a time when reporting and transparency about at risk children is very limited due to the COVID pandemic, an overwhelmed media and politics.
Not long ago, MN children were living with the terrible circumstances that killed four year-old Eric Dean and prompted our Governor to declare child protection a colossal failure.
The task force that was formed soon after did change some of the dangerous circumstances that were hurting children (like the four MN counties screening out 90% of their child abuse calls and social workers unable to reference a families prior history of child abuse when investigating a new case).
Safe Passage has reported on what appears to be manipulated data showing positive outcomes for Family Assessment Evaluations when in fact the outcomes were not positive.
People working in overwhelmed institutions frequently feel huge pressure to not look bad. It helps no one and certainly not the children in need of our protection when data is manipulated or other lies are told. If the public were more aware of the depth and scope of the difficult task of keeping children safe, more attention would be paid and more resources available. Please share this information widely – it could make a difference in the life of an at risk child.
