Monthly Operational Outcomes Report

The Monthly Operational Outcomes Report (September 2019) provides a wide array of data, including data on the type of living arrangements (placements) for children who are separated from their parents. The placement type of “missing child” includes children who are in the legal custody of the Department but have not yet been located following a DCS Hotline report or whose parents or relatives absconded with them. The Department maintains continuous efforts to locate these children including, but not limited to, working with law enforcement agencies. The monthly data on Missing Child is not cumulative. This represents the number of children in the placement type on the effective date of the report.

MOOR Report

 

Semi-Annual Child Welfare Report

The Semi-Annual Child Welfare Report (January 2019 to June 2019) also provides a wide array of data. The Placement Demographic data shows children’s living arrangements (placement types) broken out by age. Children in the placement type “missing child” include the number of children who are in the legal custody of the Department but have not yet been located following a DCS Hotline report or whose parents/relatives absconded with them. The Department maintains continuous efforts to locate these children including, but not limited to, working with law enforcement agencies. Children who exited care by reason of “Runaway” were on runaway status when the court dismissed the dependency. The Department's current database does not provide an option for an exit reason of Missing Child. The child 3-5 years old exiting by runaway was reviewed and found to have been absconded by parent.
