Letter to the editor asks foster parents for honesty

By Dave Greber | Monday, July 7, 2008, 10:20 AM

In the July 4 edition of the JournalNews and Middletown Journal, a letter to the editor took to task Butler County foster parents for their recent anger over what they believe is poorly aimed criticism at them.

Read the letter to the editor here.

During the past few months, Josh and I have featured stories about Butler County Children Services officials’ desire to right their ship by keeping children with their biological families — when it’s safe to do so — rather than placing them in foster care.

Read about the changes here.

Some of it had to do with possible instances of abuse in the wake of the death of 3-year-old Marcus Fiesel. Read that story here.

Those and other stories have caught the ire of foster parents, who have said Children Services Executive Director Michael Fox is unfairly painting them with a broad brush, making an already challenging task of raising foster children even more difficult. Read that story here.

Do you agree or disagree with the letter to the editor? Are these changes for the best?
