‘Unbelievable’: Advocates say Isabella’s placement in adoptive home raises serious questions
Advocates also say a criminal record alone should have kept the Kaluas from adopting children and the kids could have been placed with biological relatives.
“One of my concerns is there are apparently competent, available, volunteer members of the biological family who are willing to take these children and who were willing to take the children before they were placed with the Kalua family,” said paralegal child advocate Steve Lane.
“Why didn’t the state look first as they’re required to to the biological family relatives for the placement of these children?”
“The work that Child Welfare Services does with families is most often sensitive and maintaining confidentiality avoids or prevents further trauma on the child/children involved.
This article doesn't explain why Ariel couldn't have been placed with bio family ?
Would have been the better option, imo.
CPS can be secretive but shouldn't be when it comes to a child's safety ?
It sounds like Ariel was failed by many, including HI's CWS.
Imo.
