State Senator Erica Harriss has released the following statement following the resignation announcement of Marc Smith, Director of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services:
“DCFS is entrusted to protect our most vulnerable children. With the recent release of an audit showing an unacceptable increase in the mishandling of cases by this state agency, it is clear we must take action. I ask the Governor to take significant steps to overhaul the agency before further tragedies strike. We have a moral obligation to get this right.”
