The most recent statistics from the State of Texas, which were compiled in 2005,
revealed that the number of children in foster care in Kleberg County had
increased by more than 5%. The number of births to teens, ages 13 to 19, had
also increased, as had the number of confirmed victims of child abuse. More children in foster care, more teenagers giving birth, and more confirmed victims of child abuse have added to the caseloads of the already overburdened CPS caseworkers. A decrease in funding for CPS Region 11 has further impacted the quality of services provided to children in foster care in the Brush County service area. Brush County CASA and Child Protective Services (CPS) in Kleberg County have developed a good working relationship. The agency's Program Director has expressed strong support for the CASA program, and welcomes our assistance in obtaining what is in the best interest of the abused and neglected children in the area. CASA also has the support of the Kleberg County Child Welfare Board. | |
