HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.)
In an ongoing effort to protect
the Commonwealth’s abused and
neglected children, the House and
Senate have approved a resolution
calling for a review of county
Children and Youth Services, ac
cording to Rep. Sheila Miller
(R-129).
“Sadly, cases of child abuse,
sexual abuse and neglect seem to
be escalating both in numbers and
in level of severity,” Miller said.
“These growing caseloads are
placing a great deal of strain on
the people who are trying to help
these children.”
She noted the wide range of ser
vices offered through the county
agencies, including services to
parents and children to enable the
children to remain m their homes,
placement services for children
who cannot live with their birth
family, adoption services and any
other service or care ordered by
the court for children.
The resolution calls on the Joint
State Government Commission to
form a task force to undertake a
study of the children and youth
services delivery system in die
Commonwealth. The task force,
made up of four members each of
the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives, must determine whe
ther the system is meeting the
needs of at-risk children and fami
lies, and if not it must recommend
ways to improve the system.
“This task force will cany on
the work that we in the House be

Committee formed a special sub-

committee to review the tragic
death of Maxwell Fisher in Berks
County in 1996,” Miller said. “As
a member of that subcommittee, I
soon discovered there were many
legislative changes we could make
to improve the system.”
For example. Gov. Tom Ridge
recendy signed into law a bill that
would require Child Protective
Service providers to have face-to
face contact with children consid
ered to be at a high risk for abuse
on at least a weekly basis. Prior to
this law, the standard was to meet
with than face to face “as often as
necessary.” but not less than
monthly.
Another new law, introduced
by Miller, ensures that confidcn-

tial child abuse reports are readily
available to district justices so
they have the information they
need to make a decision in the best
interest of the child.
A third proposal, which would
require the state Department of
Welfare to review all child death
cases where families have been in
volved with county children and
youth agencies, was approved by
the House and now awaits Senate
action.
“We will never forget the tragic
death of little Maxwell Fisher,”
Miller said. “In honor of his mem
ory, we must do everything we
can to ensure all children have a
chance at a happy, healthy, full
life from now on.”
