On this week’s podcast we talk about the new push for federal oversight of the “troubled teen industry,” and what might be different this time around; the first kinship support program approved for new federal funding nationwide; and a local court case over ICWA that involves high-powered attorneys. Kate Murphy of Texans Care for Children joins us to break down a very eventful year in child welfare legislation and policy shifts in the Lone Star State, including the state’s plans around the Family First Act, a controversial change to its definition of neglect, legal protection for parents, and how mental health has been a major driver of the state’s continuing crisis on placements for older foster youth. Reading RoomAmerica’s ‘Troubled Teen Industry’ Needs Reform So Kids Can Avoid the Abuse I Enduredhttps://wapo.st/3maybGILawmakers Issue Warning to Troubled Teen Industry: Congress Will Acthttps://bit.ly/3vz6VomBehavior Modification: Abuse Allegedhttps://bit.ly/3BmT8mdWashington Targets Behavior Modification Programshttps://bit.ly/2ZuqKRUResidential Programs: Selected Cases of Death, Abuse, and Deceptive Marketinghttps://bit.ly/2ZjWhWdFirst Kinship Support Model Gains Approval by Family First Clearinghousehttps://bit.ly/3vtZZslState of Missouri and Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma vs. Honorable Scott S.
