National Foster Care Month is an initiative led and promoted by the Children’s Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Social Services. At this time each year, the Bureau takes the opportunity to acknowledge foster parents, family members, volunteers, mentors, policymakers, child welfare professionals, and other members of the community who work tirelessly to help the more than 423,000 children in foster care across the country to find permanent homes.
While the initiative is national, the focus is local. Delaware residents can find out more about supporting children in foster care by contacting the Division of Family Services at 302.633.2657 or DSCYF FosterCare@delaware.gov.
A Missouri state lawmaker is expected to be expelled from office following a state investigation that concluded he engaged in physical, mental and sexual abuse against his now-adult children.
The ethics committee recommended that Roeber be removed from office after reviewing what it described as clear and convincing testimony and other evidence of the lawmaker’s guilt.
The report found that Roeber’s actions may be subject to criminal charges, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
The report included testimony from three of Roeber’s four children as well as his ex-wife, who accused him of abuse dating back to the 1990s. Investigators concluded Roeber sexually abused two of his children and engaged in various acts of physical and mental abuse.
