State investigates child welfare office
Sun., Aug. 10, 2008
A high volume of complaints regarding the Washington Division of Children and Family Services’ Colville office has triggered an investigation by the state ombudsman. Ombudsman Mary Meinig will be in Colville this week at the request of Department of Social and Health Services Secretary Robin Arnold-Williams. The request was made because of concerns raised by a state legislator who represents that area and by the advocacy group Washington Families United, said Kari Burrell, executive policy advisor to Gov. Chris Gregoire for human services and housing.
