The most troubled kids get short shrift in state care
News that some abused and neglected children have ended up sleeping in offices at Child Protective Services highlights the need for a kind of care that most consider a relic of Dickens' time: residential care facilities, or orphanages, if you will. Since January 1, when CPS adopted new regulations for foster caregivers, many foster homes have been taken off the approved list of homes, causing a shortage. As a result, many of the most difficult children are being dumped back on CPS, and what was intended to make such kids safer has instead put them in limbo. In May about 160 kids in the North Texas area ended up spending the night in CPS offices, with caseworkers drafted to serve as caregivers, says Marissa Gonzales, spokeswoman for CPS. In June, that number dipped to about 115 children.

Scott Redd
Over his four-decade career, Scott Redd has created a new Navy fleet, helped administer Iraqs first occupational government, and now serves as the first director of the new National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC). Nobody ever accused the retired vice admiral of shying away from startup organizations. And Redds latest startup may be the most important job of his life. NCTC is the nations repository for counterterrorism intelligence and sets the nations war plan for fighting terrorists. The center has few employees of its own and, instead, brings together about 400 analysts and other employees from agencies such as the CIA, Homeland Security Department and FBI to pore over data collected by other agencies. NCTC houses the nations terrorist watch list and distributes it throughout the government nightly, and holds video teleconferences three times a day to keep the White House and the intelligence community informed about terrorist activity and counterterror operations.
