I was wondering if anyone has a copy of the grand jury report referenced in 
this (partial) message forwarded from FOSTER.

Re: grand juries evaluation of foster care - the Little Hoover Commission 
Report wasn't very supportive of the system as it exists either. In their 
1992 report, they conclude: "The Commission's findings in this report, as 
well as its 1987 report, point to one simple truth: All too often, 
California's Child Welfare Services Program simply does not fulfill the 
promises made by the reform legislation of the early 1980s. Specifically, 
unnecessary placement in foster care has NOT been reduced, the stability of 
foster care placements has NOT been increased, and the safety and best 
interests of the children have NOT been ensured."
