Over nine thousand children are in foster care in Kentucky. There is a need for volunteers to help review the cases for children who are there due to dependency, neglect, or abuse. Cletus Poat is the state chair of the citizen foster care review board of Kentucky. He said boards look at many parts of the child’s case such as their health, school progress and the status of the biological parents.
“And then we record those findings where we are with this case, at this interval and we make recommendations, and we send that report to the family court judge for the next court hearing and the judge has those findings and those recommendations.”
