An organization that advocates for Maine kids is seeking feedback on ways the state can improve its child welfare system after the highly publicized deaths of two young girls, allegedly at the hands of their caregivers, within the past year. While Maine lawmakers passed a set of changes last summer that were meant to close gaps in the system and included $21.2 million in new funding, the Maine Children’s Alliance believes more needs to be done and that any improvements must be guided by people working within the system. [Maine lawmakers add $21 million to child protective services system] To that end, the Augusta-based group has been seeking input from agencies and workers around the state at forums in Lewiston and Orono.
