Sherry said DCFS often does not inform parents why they are removing the children. To make matters worse, children from families must often act as translators between their parents and DCFS workers, Macri said. The entire experience becomes extremely traumatic for the child, something caseworkers often fail to take into account, Sherry said. Sherry believes two factors have contributed to the number of children being placed in foster homes. The first is liability avoidance. DCFS will remove a child from his or her home to avoid the risk of a lawsuit, Sherry said. "They remove the kid just to be FRIDAY ' on "Nonviolence or Nonexistence Options" at noon.ln the J.

Sherry and JEDI Executive Director Bonnie Macri spoke about misconceptions concerning child abuse and poverty in Utah on Tuesday in the Women's Resource Center. In more than 50 percent of all cases, Division of Child and Family Services caseworkers remove children from their homes not because of abuse but because of neglect, Sherry said. And that neglect stems from poverty, she said. "The families can't care for themselves... and they can't provide for the children" because of homelcss-nes- s or other problems, Sherry said. While the state once provided child-car- e food and for families, changes in welfare laws have caused caseworkers to remove children instead of working with the families.
