Family values means protecting and nurturing our
children. When it comes to child abuse and neglect,
that means …
1. We’ve got to strengthen families, so we can
prevent abuse or neglect whenever possible.
2. And, when abuse or neglect happens, we must
take swift but thoughtful actions that give kids the
best possible chance to grow up in a safe, stable,
loving, and supportive permanent home and build
successful, independent adult lives.

In Practice – 2012
Child advocate says foster care improvements are possible in Oklahoma
When it comes to child abuse and neglect, we have two basic responsibilities.
We must strengthen families to prevent abuse or neglect whenever possible.
And we must take swift but thoughtful actions that give kids the best possible
chance to grow up in a safe, stable, loving and supportive permanent home.
The Legislature is finalizing legislation to help child welfare officials make
better use of the resources they have and to improve the options available to
children affected by abuse or neglect. One problem we know is that state
workers have too much on their plates.They must build relationships in the
community — taking time and resources they don't have — before they can
begin the equally challenging work of recruiting and supporting foster families
and youth and then address the unique needs of each child and family.
