M <br />"Some Indicators" means that there are signs of some abuse, abandonment or neglect but <br />either a perpetrator could not be identified, or there was not enough to go to court or the case <br />was borderline. <br />For the Department of Children and Families' Child Protection Program reports that there is a <br />90% referral rate. Even though there may not be indicators or enough indicators, families are <br />referred for everything from weatherization programs to other community resources. <br />When it has been determined that a child cannot be protected in the parent's home, an interim <br />placement is made. <br />-Release to Relative: Voluntary placement of a child with a relative --has parental <br />consent <br />-Detained with Relative: Court sanctioned placement with a relative --parental <br />consent is not required <br />-Emergency Shelter: A place for the temporary care or protection of a child. <br />27 <br />MAY 13, 1997 <br />
