At this point, many of you have read about Philadelphia's embattled Department of Human Services (DHS). There have been many scathing reports compiled and disseminated highlighting marked incompetence. The agency singularly tasked with protecting the lives and welfare of children, has been cited, time and again, for lax practices and poor oversight of child abuse and neglect investigations. From social worker to senior staffer, DHS has proven itself unwilling and/or unable to do away with antiquated and outmoded child welfare practices and procedures.
