Portland Press Herald: Maine gets an 'F' from child advocacy group
Excerpt:
"Maine is among 15 states that get failing grades on a first-of-its-kind report card assessing the legal representation provided to abused and neglected children as courts make decisions about whether to separate them from their families.
The report, to be released today by the Washington-based child advocacy group First Star, is sharply critical of states that do not require all children in the proceedings to have their own attorneys. Maine uses trained, court-appointed volunteer advocates."
