All of the groups that participated in the study — parents, foster parents, attorneys, and even judges and referees themselves — said the court does not consistently use its power to hold the parties in children’s cases accountable for their roles in these delays.

“Our state and city elected officials must devote adequate resources to solving these problems,” said Julie Farber, director of policy for Children’s Rights and one of the study’s authors.“All those involved in the cases of children in foster care, including ACS, the foster care agencies, and the Family Court, must accept some responsibility for the delays these children are experiencing and take action immediately to bring children home more quickly to the permanent families they need.”

The Long Road Home lists 18 recommendations for quickening children’s progress toward permanent homes. Among them:

Take rapid action to address the cases of the children who have been stranded longest in New York City foster care. ACS should develop and execute plans to speed progress toward permanent families for the more than 4,000 children in foster care who have been slated for reunification or adoption for two years or more, and for the more than 2,600 children who are no longer designated for reunification or adoption and are likely to age out of foster care with no permanent family at all.
Improve the Family Court process and accountability. The report calls on New York’s state legislature and governor to reduce overwhelming burdens on the Family Court by authorizing and funding more judgeships, and to enact mandated time frames for key Family Court proceedings. The Family Court itself should, the report says, require time-certain hearings, report publicly on the timeliness of court proceedings, and use its existing power to hold the parties in children’s cases accountable for ensuring timely progress.
Improve the child welfare workforce, foster care casework, and accountability. The state and city should provide adequate funding to reduce both caseloads for child welfare workers and caseworker turnover, and take additional steps to improve recruitment, retention, and training. ACS should rigorously implement a quality assurance program to increase accountability among the foster care agencies, and report publicly on key performance measures

[new info]

Improve supports and services for children and families. Areas where improvement is needed, according to the report, include visits between children in foster care and their families, planning and services for parents with mental illness and cognitive disabilities, and the Bridges to Health program for children with severe medical, developmental, or emotional disorders, which should be expanded significantly. The report also calls for additional housing assistance for vulnerable families and an increased commitment to preventive services aimed at strengthening families and keeping children out of foster care in the first place.
Establish a new permanency option. The report calls on the state legislature and governor to enact and adequately fund subsidized guardianship as an option for abused and neglected children who cannot return home and for whom adoption is not an option, federal funds for which were recently made available to states by the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008.
“The lives and well-being of the children we represent literally hang in the balance,” said Tamara Steckler, attorney-in-charge of the Juvenile Rights Practice of the Legal Aid Society.“The time for action is now on such crucial initiatives for children as the Office for Court Administration’s request to increase the number of Family Court Judges and the need to limit caseloads and enhance training for city child welfare workers and foster care agency workers.”

Children’s Rights conducted the study in partnership with ACS and the Legal Aid Society Juvenile Rights Practice, with the voluntary participation of 28 private foster care agencies, and with input and support on various aspects of the project from many other organizations and individuals, including the New York City Family Court, the Council of Family and Child Caring Agencies, the Child Welfare Organizing Project, the Center for Family Representation, the Bronx Defenders, the Brooklyn Family Defense Project, the Citizens’ Committee for Children, and the First and Second Departments of the State of New York Unified Court System, Appellate Division, Law Guardian Program.

The project was funded with support from the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation, the Ira W. DeCamp Foundation, the Stella & Charles Guttman Foundation, the Edward and Ellen Roche Relief Foundation, the Marion E. Kenworthy-Sarah H. Swift Foundation, the Metzger-Price Fund, and the Marsicano Foundation.

Substantial numbers of parents did not receive needed services due to
both parents’ lack of participation and casework failures.
The parents of the children in the study sample struggled with a multitude of issues, including substance
abuse, mental illness, cognitive disability, domestic violence, poverty, and housing insecurity.
Their engagement in services and planning varied substantially.
Many stakeholders said that foster care agencies do not adequately tailor service planning to the unique
needs of each child and family or coordinate effectively among multiple service providers, and that
too many service requirements are “piled on” without consideration of whether the services may be
duplicative—not to mention whether it is even logistically possible for parents to attend multiple required
programs, possibly while also searching for employment or housing at the same time. Judges and
referees expressed frustration that caseworkers focus more on monitoring and reporting on parents’
attendance at services than on evaluating their progress.
A substantial minority of children in the study who were not legally free for adoption had parents with
serious mental illnesses (32 percent) and/or cognitive disabilities (17 percent). Some stakeholders said
that cases involving parents with mental illness or cognitive disabilities are particularly challenging in
terms of obtaining both accurate assessments of and appropriate services for these parents.

[new info]

here are serious concerns about the quality of engagement with parents
and resource parents.
Communication and Respect
Parents and others said that communication is a major problem in casework, particularly when children
are first taken into foster care. Caseworkers sometimes fail to communicate clearly with parents
about what is happening with their children and do not act quickly enough to identify and appropriately
engage all relevant family members who need to be a part of case planning and/or services. Caseworkers
also do not always adequately inform parents upfront about all of the requirements they will need
to meet in order to regain custody of their children—and often come back to them later on to tell them
they must complete additional tasks or services to get their children back. Additionally, parents and
resource parents alike said that caseworkers do not consistently treat them with respect.
Relationships between Parents and Resource Parents
ACS has expressed its commitment to the “Family to Family” model of foster care case practice, which,
among other things, emphasizes the role that resource parents can play in supporting efforts to reunify
children with their families. While many of the parents and resource parents who participated in focus
groups for this study were familiar with Family to Family concepts, they said the foster care agencies
did not regularly take steps to facilitate relationships between parents and resource parents—and that
they typically had to take their own initiative to reach out to one another.
Additionally, while nearly three-fourths of the caseworkers interviewed said they had received training

[new info]

on how to facilitate these relationships, 27 percent had not received any such training. Contacts between
parents and resource parents were rarely documented in the case files of the children in the study
sample, and little documentation existed regarding the nature of the relationships between the two.
Casework with Fathers
Stakeholders said that the foster care agencies generally do not make sufficient efforts to locate, engage,
and provide services to fathers. Various quantitative findings from this study underscore these comments:
• In nearly half the cases in the sample involving children who were not legally free for adoption,
documentation indicated either that the children’s fathers were unknown (11 percent) or that their
whereabouts were unknown (37 percent) for at least some portion of the one-year review period.
• Fathers rarely participated in team meetings, contacts with caseworkers, and visits with their children.
• The agencies rarely explored the possibility of calling on paternal relatives as supports or potential
caregivers.
Casework with Incarcerated Parents
Among children in the sample who were not legally free for adoption, 10 percent had a parent who was
incarcerated at some point during the one-year review period. Some stakeholders said that the foster
care agencies do not make adequate efforts to reach out to incarcerated parents and work with them in
planning for their children.
C. Caseworkers did not maintain adequate contact with children, parents

[new info]

Nearly 40 percent of the children in the sample did not receive the expected number of contacts
with their caseworkers during the one-year review period.
• Only 16 percent of mothers received the expected number of caseworker contacts.
• More than half of fathers (54 percent) had no contact with their caseworkers at all.
The most commonly identified barriers to caseworker contacts with parents were parents’ canceling or
missing scheduled contacts, caseworkers’ failure to schedule contacts, and parents’ whereabouts being
unknown (which was more common for fathers than for mothers).
D. Most children were living in stable family settings, but their resource
parents needed more support.
One positive finding is that 89 percent of children in the study sample were living with families (and not
in facilities) throughout the review period (including children who were home on trial discharge), and
78 percent had remained in their placements without moving during the past year. However, more than
one-fifth of children did not have stable placements, typically because their resource parents requested
their removal or the placements were unable to meet the children’s needs.
The reasons for these moves suggest some inadequacies in the support that agencies provided to resource
parents, a theme that many stakeholders echoed in interviews and focus groups. Some resource

transportation services (45 percent), parenting skills training (44 percent), and family therapy (42 percent

[new info]

Although the majority of the children in the sample with a goal of Adoption
were living in pre-adoptive homes, most had remained in foster care
for a long time before their goals were changed to Adoption, and foster
care agencies were slow to file petitions to terminate parental rights.
Seventy-seven percent of all children in the sample with a goal of Adoption were living in prospective
adoptive homes, although in 19 percent of these cases, the case record indicated that the prospective
adoptive parent was wavering in his/her commitment to adopt the child.
Thirty-two percent of the children in the sample with a goal of Adoption had been in foster care for
three or more years before their permanency goals were changed to Adoption—and 21 percent had
remained in care for four or more years before their goals were changed.
Additionally, the foster care agencies either did not file petitions to terminate parental rights or were
extremely slow to do so for most children in the sample.18 Termination of parental rights (TPR) is necessary
to legally free children for adoption (unless a parent voluntarily surrenders his or her rights), and
federal law requires the filing of TPR petitions when a child has been in foster care for 15 months out
of the last 22 months (with provisions for exceptions, known as “compelling reasons”). It is the foster
care agencies’ responsibility to file these petitions (although it is also within the Court’s power to order
them to do so).
The foster care agencies failed to file TPR petitions for 69 percent of the children in the study sample
(who were not already legally free for adoption). For 11 percent of these children, the agencies docu

The foster care agencies failed to file TPR petitions for 69 percent of the children in the study sample
(who were not already legally free for adoption). For 11 percent of these children, the agencies documented
no “compelling reason” why they had not filed for TPR. For an additional 62 percent of children,
the documented reason did not appear to meet the letter or spirit of ACS’ policy guidance pertaining to
compelling reasons, and reflected a general lack of urgency regarding achieving permanency.
When the agencies did file TPR petitions, they were often very slow to do so, filing within 15 months of
children’s entry into foster care in only seven percent of the cases with TPRs on file.19 One-third of the
children with TPRs on file had been in foster care for more than three years by the time the agencies
actually filed the petition. One-fifth had been in foster care for more than four years before filing.

egal Proc eedings in FAMIL Y COURT — Major
delays in Family Court proceedings were pervasive
in the cases of the children in the study sample,
including hearings related to abuse and neglect
investigations, termination of parental rights, and
permanency. By many accounts, the Court does not
consistently hold parties accountable, which can
play a major role in these delays.
A. T he length of time between children’s entry into foster care and the
Court’s completion of Fact-Finding and Disposition was extremely long
for many children.
When a child enters foster care, the Family Court is responsible for determining whether or not he or
she has been abused and neglected and, if so, by whom. This process occurs at a Fact-Finding Hearing.
If the Court makes a finding of abuse or neglect, then the case moves to a Disposition Hearing at which
the judge decides whether the child will go home or remain in foster care. These two hearings are part
of what is known as an Article 10 proceeding.

[new info]

Although there are no specific required timeframes for completing these hearings, they should be
completed before the first Permanency Hearing; the “Permanency Law” passed by the New York State
legislature in 2005 requires that the first Permanency Hearing be held eight months after a child has
been remanded into foster care. Because the purpose of Permanency Hearings is to monitor the child’s
safety and well-being, the family’s progress, and efforts to return the child home or what efforts will
be undertaken to find another permanent family, it would be premature in most cases for the Court to
hold such hearings before it has even decided whether abuse or neglect has occurred.
Fact-Findings and Dispositions in Family Court were substantially delayed for children in the study
sample, including children who entered care in recent years. The mean length of time between children’s
placement in foster care and completion of the Disposition by the Family Court was 14 months;
the median was 11 months. Disposition took more than a year for 44 percent of the children and more
than two years for 15 percent.
Given that many children in the sample entered foster care a number of years ago, we examined the
timeliness of Dispositions for a sub-sample of children who entered care since the new “Permanency
Law” went into effect. For 72 percent of these children, Disposition took more than eight months.
We also compared the mean length of time to Disposition for children who entered care prior to the
Permanency Law to that of children who entered care after the law was enacted. The difference in time
to Disposition between the two groups was not statistically significant. Although this analysis does not

[new info]

B. More than half of children experienced delays in their Permanency Hearings.
The Court made “reasonable efforts” findings at virtually all hearings,
calling into question the threshold it uses to make these determinations.
Children are supposed to receive their first Permanency Hearing eight months after being remanded
into foster care and then every six months thereafter until they exit foster care. Once a Permanency
Hearing is begun, it must be completed within 30 days. The purpose of these hearings is to improve
permanency outcomes for children through regularly scheduled judicial reviews of the circumstances
of their cases, the appropriateness of their permanency goals, and the efforts made by the agencies to
bring about permanency. The Court must also issue orders to expedite permanency, to ensure the safety
and well being of children in foster care, and to determine when to discharge them.
For more than half (55 percent) of the children in the sample, at least one Permanency Hearing over a
two-year period was not completed within the required 30 days. In order of prevalence, the most common
reasons for these delays were that the foster care agencies had not submitted Permanency Hearing
Reports (PHRs) on time, that the Court did not have sufficient time for the hearings, that foster care
agency caseworkers were not present, that the PHRs did not sufficiently address the issues in the case,
and that ACS caseworkers were not present.
At virtually every Permanency Hearing for children in this study—99 percent over a period of two
years—the Court ruled that the foster care agencies had made “reasonable efforts” to bring about
permanency. This finding belies the long lengths of stay in foster care that these children and families
were experiencing, as well as other data collected in this study regarding the varying intensity of se

Michigan: Tragedy Hits Home with FightCPS Reader Faith Baden’s Children
In Midland, Michigan an adopted child attacked and killed Faith Baden’s son, Justin Baden, age 17, early in August, 2009. Justin and his younger siblings were removed from Faith Baden’s home by CPS and eventually adopted out to Jessica Pribbernow, a Michigan child-collector.

The newspaper reported that Pribbernow had custody of five boys adopted from foster care. The accused, known as Steven Jeffrey Pribbernow Jr., 15, is not the biological brother of the boys he is said to have attacked.

Two others boys, both sons of Faith Baden, were injured severely in the knife attack.

Faith left a number of news articles, emails, and comments on FightCPS yesterday. You can read them here and here.

Faith, my heartfelt sympathy to you on the loss of your son, and prayers for the healing of his younger brothers. We here at FightCPS do understand that your children should not have been separated from their loving parents.

Obviously the child collecting adopters were not capable of keeping the children safe. This is one more sign that the foster-adoption system in this country doesn’t work. I wonder if these children, in particular the one said to be the attacker, were on medications as “special needs” children. Many pharmaceutical medications given to foster and adoptive children are believed to have produced suicidal or homicidal tendencies. One of the emails posted stated that Jessica and her husband were unemployed and living off the adoption subsidy payments received for adopting the boys - a clear indicator that these were probably medicated children.

A fine way our country pretends to keep children safe.

Teen stabbed to death in adoptive home after DHS removed from natural parents
Faith Baden of Iosco County, Michigan had no idea that when she last talked to her son Justin Pribbernow, while he was on a Marines recruitment trip, that it would be the last time she would speak to him.“The hardest part is when I said goodbye to him, I didn't know I was saying goodbye for good.", says Faith. This is not a story about another soldiers death in a foreign land though. Justin died during an attack, allegedly by his brother, 15 year old Steve Pribbernow, which also left two brothers and their adoptive father seriously injured.

Faith Baden had five sons. While married to Paul McBride Jr the first three, Mitchel J McBride, the oldest, Paul (McBride) Pribbernow, and Justin (McBride) Pribbernow were born. The relationship between Faith and Paul deteriorated and they eventually divorced. Paul McBride Jr now lives in Flint, Michigan. Faith describes their relationship as "not good".

Faith is now married to Kevin Baden whom she had two more sons with. They are Kevin (Baden) Pribbernow, age 15, and Kody (Baden) Pribbernow, age 13. However, the youngest four boys were removed from the care of Faith and Kevin after Paul McBride, Jr made an allegation that both Justin and Paul were being sexually abused by Faith. However Social Services found that this allegation was not true. This followed the previous conviction of Doug Bemis for molesting the boys. He is now serving a 43 year term for that abuse.

On May 19, 2004 the Standish Court in Arenac County determined that Faith and Kevin had failed to protect the boys from the abuse and had also allowed Kody to be medically neglected. The boys were adopted by Jessica (Pribbernow) Saylor who is married to Joshua Saylor who was also injured in the attack. In 2006 Jessica divorced from Steve Jeffery Pribbernow and the three youngest boys remained with her. Faith says that is when Jessica went to child welfare officials and ask that they take the children back but was told that she had adopted them and was to provide for their care until they reached the age of 18 years.

Also in the home, prior to the arrival of Faith's sons, was Steve Pribbernow, age 15, whose father had been found stabbed to death in a river. Steve and his mother lived with his grandparents for awhile before they died. Steven then went into the system where he was eventually adopted by the Pribbernows. Jessica (Pribbernow) Saylor and Joshua Saylor had four boys living in the home at the time of the attack.

Jessica Pribbernow may not have been a model parent herself and there is some question as to whether she was fit to parent these children. As Faith tells it Jessica had a criminal record and her application to be a foster parent was denied. But with the help of a state senator, Family Lutheran Adoption Agency of Bay City, Michigan arranged for the adoption of the children.

Jessica had three biological children of her own. Along with Faith's four boys and Steve that made eight children living in the three bedroom home. At the time of Justin's death there were seven children living in the home.

[michigan tragedy]

Faith says that Jessica made it difficult for her to have communication with her children, not allowing them to have a telephone and maintaining rigid controls over their lives. She also says that her oldest son Paul had once told her that Justin told him that Jessica had been fondling him.

Although there were no outward indications that this may have been coming, Faith's son Paul had told her that the other children needed to be removed from the Saylor house. There has been no information provided to me that Steven Pribbernow was on any medications but I have been told that his back was recently covered in bruises.

Faith and Kevin Baden had hoped for the return of their children. Although they were hoping to start a custody action some time back the estimated legal costs prevented them from going forward at the time. Faith wants all parents to know that CPS is not interested in doing what is best for children but getting the money for the state. Under Title IV-E of the Social Security Act states get incentive payments to have children taken from their natural parents and placed into an adoptive family.

Kevin and Kody suffered serious injuries in the attack including Kody's loss of some fingers and damage to Kevin's internal organs. Both boys have been released from the hospital and returned to the care of Jessica (Pribbernow) Saylor who apparently failed to protect the children in her care from being killed or seriously injured.

The Badens saw their son Paul, who is age 19, on Sunday 06 September. He told them that he had witnessed Jessica sexually molesting Justin and that she had also molested him with the assistance of Joshua who held him down. In 2006 Jessica accused Paul of molesting her biological daughter and he is currently serving a 56 month prison sentence.

I contacted Jessica Cokar of Midland County DHS and asked her what many are wondering; Why were children removed from their parents based on an allegation that they failed to protect them from sexual abuse and then adopted by someone who then alleges that her child was sexually abused and now has failed to protect one of the children from being stabbed to death and two others seriously injured. To be blunt, do you actually care about children or are you just in it for the federal incentive money?

Ms Cokar was asked for comment on September 4, 2009 but had no comment for this article. Midland County DHS did say this, "The Michigan Department of Human Services appreciates the time you have taken to share your thoughts."

The Baden's were not allowed to attend the funeral of their son and do not even know where he is buried. An officer of the Midland County Sheriff's Department allegedly called the Baden's and told them that they could not attend the funeral. Although the call appeared as "Midland County" on their caller ID, upon returning the call the Baden's were told that the Department knows nothing of it.

The Badens would like for anyone who knows their children to let them know about the condition of their children and to also let their boys know that they want them home and are continuing to fight to bring them home.

Justin Pribbernow was a good student who played football, basketball and was in track. His plans were to enlist in the Marines upon completing high school. His 18th birthday would have been the day the Badens went to visit Paul in prison.

[civil rightr broken]

My name is Faith Baden, and I am the biological mother of Paul, Justin, Kevin and Kody. I am a good mother and I want my children back. The state of Michigan took them 4 years ago and in doing so, violated our civil rights as well as our children's civil rights. And we want to fight to get them back, but we need help.

We were told that our children wouldn't be taken from us.We were told they would work with us, to keep our children in our home. They had us sign a paper stating they were going to put programs in place, in order for us to keep our children. These programs were never put into place.

Two weeks after cps first came out to our home, we were in court and appeared for the first time in front of a judge. At which time, during this court appearance, without our knowlege, our children were being taken into state custody while they were in school. This happened in Standish, MI on November 7th 2003.

We were told ( felt threatend,) that if we didn't plea to some of the charges against us, that our children would be taken from us for good. And that if we agreed to the plea agreement, they would work with us, so that we could keep our children. But they lied to us.

We didn't hurt our children. My youngest boy received a scratch on his foot that was caused by the chain that my brothers dog was tied up with outside. While I was treating his scratch, his school reported that it was not being properly treated, and reported us to cps.

His foot was healed when we went to court on Nov 7th 2003. The case worker lied to the court and said that it wasn't healed. The doctor that was treating him, sent over a report stating his wound was healed. While we were pleading our case in court for the first time, our children were being taken into state custody without our knowledge.

I love my children very much, and want them back home with me. I am worried about their safety where they are currently staying.

I am asking for your help.

Biological mother of Paul, Justin,who is now deceased, Kevin and Kody.

just to let you no the baden family isn't trash get to know them and you find out different she has told many people lies about them and made them look like trash but if you knew them you would know she full of her self .its pretty bad when you have to trash parents of children she says she cares so much about .that is trash not the children family it wasn't their fault totally for losing their kids they were lied too.and her saying she molested her kids are full of it .she had made it well known to everyone she talks to at the school in public and its going to come back on her full ring .you don't run tails that are faults reports on people you don't know anything about .and i know for fact she doesn't know that family at all.and the things she has statement even in the records against them no where so figure out who is trash and it isn't the Baden's .

[To friend of the Saylors]

Your absolutly right about Faith Baden. She loves her children very much, and want's Kevin and Kody to know that.
I have talked with her personally, and she want's her children home with her and to be safe.
Jessica seems to have run her mouth all over town trashing this family, and waving her state checks around showing people just how much she gets each month for having medically needy children.
Jessica and Joshua are not employed to our knowledge, so they can't deny that they are living off of the state check's these chldren receive.
If anyone knows what has been happening, please come foward and help these children. Others have and are alreadey coming forward, please continue to do so for the sake of these children.
