NEW YORK There are more than half a million children in foster care who do not get needed treatment and services, says ACLU lawyer Marsha Robinson Lowry director of the Children's Rights Project. She argues for family preservation and least intrusive foster care with non discriminatory access. Beatrice Gross and Joyce Black echo concerns about chronic civil rights violations in schools and homes and urge stronger preventive services, funding, and national policy action. The 1980s Decade of the Child initiative aims to build information sharing and policies at city and state levels. 10 YEARS AGO note.
