[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 2182790, member: 1294"] Yes the part in bold is usually how it works, funny thing is that's not the "official story" given to our legislature to explain why OK. takes more kids than most states. The following is from the $40,000 performance audit,(can't have a financial audit) of OKDHS. [In Oklahoma law enforcement is charged with the physical removal of children from their homes in child protection cases. Moreover, under “standing orders” in Tulsa and Oklahoma Counties, which are explicitly allowed in statute, including the proposed revision of Title 10, police can remove children without prior case specific judicial approval and without DHS participation of any kind, yet put them under the jurisdiction of the Department by placing them in the state-operated shelters. While law enforcement is permitted to remove children in most states, Oklahoma is nearly unique both in prohibiting DHS from doing so, and in not requiring its involvement in assuming custody. The result is that social work decisions about child safety are being made by law enforcement, not by the social workers. In addition, DHS cannot overturn those decisions without court approval.] [/QUOTE]
