the call. Neglect complaints must be followed up in seventy-two
hours, Wall said. After the initial investigation the ideal time
is 30 days to complete the investigation; however, the department
has some over 120 days because of the shortage of social workers.
Lately they have not been able to meet the 24 and 72 hour time
frames. If the child is in imminent danger, the child is placed in
a foster home and the investigation is completed later on.
In response to Commissioner Madison's inquiry about matching
funds, Mr. Wall said there is no match available. Presently the
County receives $103,000 from the State for Child Protective
Services positions. The cost of the program is $580,000.
Commissioner Stewart the Child Protective Services finds
itself in the same situation that every other county in the state
finds itself in. There is a growing number of abused children. It
is very difficult to recruit people to work in this area, Stewart
said. No one is sure why the numbers are growing and if it will
continue to grow.
MOTION from Commissioner Stewart to fund the two County
Protective Services Social Work positions and two Permanency
Planning Social Work positions. The cost for the remainder of this
year is $23,701. The cost for a twelve-month period is $117,165.
The funds for the remainder of the fiscal year will come from
lapsed salaries.
