Not Alone Radio Program, Feb. 8: Nebraska Families Collaborative

The Child Welfare System has long been a source of grave concern to Nebraskans. We see more and more families living in ways that are detrimental to the health and well being of children; sometimes the safety of the child is of such serious concern that children are removed from their homes. In other circumstances, children need to receive mental health care, and the only option available for parents so that their child may receive this care, is to ask that their child be made a ward of the State, in essence terminating their own parental rights, and having the child removed from their home.
