Reforming California's Dependency Courts

Kevin Thompson, Chairman of the Coalition to Preserve Families, writes "CPF is working to place the Child and Family Protection Act on California's March 2002 ballot. This initiative will improve juvenile dependency courts by 1) introducing the right to have a jury hear allegations of abuse, 2) requiring a speedy hearing, 3) removing the requirement for absolute confidentiality, and 4) promoting a preference for placement with relatives when a child is removed from the home. We need your help! For more information, see our web site at www.CoalitionToPreserveFamilies.org."
