Arizona Republican state Sen. David Farnsworth addressed new numbers of lost or runaway children from the Arizona Department of Child Safety (DCS, or CPS) system.
“I just received an update from Senate staff” Farnsworth said, referring to “alarming” numbers. “The latest numbers show that in April 2020 the Arizona Department of Child Safety listed 229 runaways and 42 missing children. The total is 271 children that have been taken by the Arizona Department of Child Safety out of their homes because supposedly they were not safe, and then it appears the Department of Child Safety has lost them.”
