The commission has ed its atten- tion in this section {o & description of ex- isting conditions leaying the queston of Proposeq statutory changes as it stands in the first volume of the report published in January. “The study of private placin agencies,” says the report, “shows them 1o be aoing effective work in a limited fleld, It ipdicates that chlld-caring ns stitutions are realizing the need for train- eq workers, to deal both with admissions and placements. “The study of children placed out from the county homes has served to em- phasize the fact that there is both a lack of adequate facilities tq, gare for depend- ent and neglected children, and a failure to make the-best use of the facilities which exist. “A chilg may be flaced In a foster home by the county commissioners. the superintendents of the county homes, the town visitors, the visitor of the dscesan bufeau of the state board of charities. After placement he may be visited by any or all of these persons or by none. As a result of this division of power and the reported lack of investigation and supervision, the commission finds that “the placed-out chidren -of Connecticut have been founq to be overworked. ex- ploited, poorly educated, poorly trained and twisted and thwarted from normal developmeént. More than twice as manv foster parents took children for the ser- vice the children coulq render them as 100k them for the service they might ren- der to the children.” As a basis for its report the commis- sion studied the cases of 157 children, or ten per cent. of the 1633 children at present placed out from the countv homes. In addition, it made a general study of 142 other county home wards. Difficulty was encountered in locatine childgen, as nearly one-half of the ad- ar given In the records were found to be incorrect. For instance the re- port says, “In endeavoring to locate a girl about' whom nothing had been seen for seven years, the trail led from a charity organization society to a priest, to a closed orphan asylum, to a lodging house keeper, to a restaurant, to.a Do- lice ‘station, to a relative, to the child’s home where the mother denled that her daughter was the chiid in auestion. and finally to a school where the child was found and fdentifled.” The establishment of a state bufeau of child welfare is recommended by the commission as & means of co-ordinatine and supervising the work of placing out children. The hearing of the bill creating this bureau s scheduled for Thursday.
