policy of the police department in its treatment of juveniles, childshuttling between the Guardian's home and boarding homes and other local policies. 9 Proposals Outlined The survey experts recommended: ONE: Complete overhauling of the child welfare division of the county welfare department “in accordance with known methods of operating a competent child caring service. TWO: Employment of a “well qualified executive” for the division, improvement of the staff and liberalization of the department's policies. (The Times series exposed bogging down of operations in the child welfare section of the county welfare department as the result of iron rule in the departm summary dismissal of top personfiel and lack of a satisfactory policy. THREE: The police déPartment should - stop their present practice of handling child neglect cases. “It is too easy for any citizen to set in motion activity that sometimes has been mere child-snatch-ing,” the report stated. “Juvenile court should establish a 24-hour intake service and handle these complaints instead of the police department.” Closer Unity Held Needed
FOUR: More co-operation between the juvenile court staff and the police department. Police should not take statements from children under 16 and shouid ques. tion those over 16 only on ‘serious offenses. FIVE: More efficient investigation of non-support complaints. SIX: A campaign to remove ceilings on the amount of benefit payments for children. Seek to Reduce Cases SEVEN: Reduction of the flow of hundreds of needless cases through juvenile court by more co-~ operation between child welfare agengles, both public and private. EIGHT: Selection of the juvenile court judge on a strictly non-par-tisan basis. NINE: Establishment of psychiatric service for all child care agencies. TEN: Increases in salaries for social workers in order that agencles may compete on the open market for the best-trained personnel.
