The staggering number of newborn babies taken away from their parents prompted the state to set up its first Maternal and Infant Correctional Unit, (Mother and Baby Withdrawal Unit)., in (Ivanhoe), Ivanhoe. The Maternal and Maternal Corrections Department is helping dozens of troubled mothers, change, to live for the benefit of their children.
Florida Mental Health Director (Martin Foley) said drug addiction has hit families hard and communities need new ways to support children.
Under the contract with government, Victoria, Maternal and Maternal Corrections is run by Uniting ReGen, a (Uniting Church) unit of the United Church of Australia. Since November 2016, low-key medical practice, especially correctional departments, has looked after 82 new mothers and their newborn babies.
As a first step in a complete change life, more than 60 new mothers confirmed to authorities that they were qualified mothers and succeeded in keeping their children beside them. Of those mothers who have successfully left their children, 70% are still in force. Another 10% are in the authorities surveillance radar range in case action is needed.
About 600 children under the age of 1 were taken away from home last year because of alcohol abuse problems in their families, according to the latest data from the Department of Health and Human Services, (Department of Health and Human Services).
These include sad cases in which the same child has been taken away from home many times.
