Hi Mike What factors would be used in Minnesota to be sure that the state is not again sliding back to a family preservation response? In Michigan all reports have to be investigated (i.e. a worker has to meet the parents at the home )- so there are no reports homes are not visited (even if after the visit many cases are screened out for abuse and neglect). I am just concerned that w/o oversight, the state will try to slip back into the cheaper (though not in the long run) option.
