DC Mary’s bad politics once again turn her against the safety of the future leaders of Oklahoma. Mary voted against a bill that would crack down on child abuse in foster home programs.
Why in the world would she vote no on this? We have no idea, it surely has to be some biased party politics game she is playing in DC.
The bill required the Department of Health and Human Services to enforce health and safety standards for children‟s residential programs. It required criminal background checks for staff, the creation of a child abuse and neglect hotline, as well as a public Web site with information about program ownership and compliance with state child abuse licensing requirements. The measure authorized $15 million per year from fiscal 2010-2014 to implement the bill‟s provisions and $235 million per year over the same period for a child abuse prevention grant program.
