Birchler fights plan to close Hurst-Bush children home
Springfield Lindsay-Schaub News Service reports that the plan of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services to close the Southern Illinois Children's Service Center in Hurst-Bush is challenged by Rep. Vincent Birchler. He argues keeping the home open protects local residents while cost repairs of about 175000 drive closure. If closed, about 10 children would move to private group homes or foster care with potential relocation across the state, raising concerns about parental contact and local access to care.
