Their goal is to help courts expedite permanent placement for children through programs such as the Court Improvement Program and the Foster Care Review Board Program.

The goal of our program is to decrease the amount of child abuse and neglect in Madison County, IL.

With the expansion of the Crisis Nursery to the Madison county area parents or caregivers who are not able to travel to St. Louis will have accesses to all of the various programs the Crisis Nursery has to offer. Children will be able to get proper medical attention, as well as food, shelter and aid in child development. If accepted for funding the Madison County Crisis Nursery will be running by November 2017.

We are the attorneys for the Beaumont Independent School District (“BISD” or the “District”) and will represent the District in any matter related to the above-referenced case. Please add the below names, addresses, emails, and fax numbers to TEA’s proof of service regarding this case.

I completely disagree with your opinion of giving Marion full custody. The hardest thing for a parent to do is to sign away their rights for their child until they are capable of doing so themselves. There are parents who are homeless or severely mentally ill who refuse to give up their child. This act in itself shows he would never compromise his daughter by doing anything to harm her. Charlie is no longer an alcholic but a functioning law abiding citizen with gainful employment. I do not see any reason why he should be prevented from reuniting with his child. We all make mistakes it is the steps we take to rectify them.
