The Georgia Supreme Court Child Placement Project Newsletter Welcome to the Fall issue of the CPP Newsline. Its mission is to focus on one area of the CPP with each issue and to update the reader of changes in Georgia's juvenile court deprivation process. This newsletter was edited by Michelle Barclay and designed by Nancy Pevey, Administrative Office of the Courts. The drawings were generously contributed by the artist, Julia Taylor. But juvenile courts are also responsible for tracking children who have been adjudicated deprived.
Juvenile courts serve as the overseers of the foster care system.
As such, juvenile courts must constantly follow and monitor children's cases to make sure the children are safe and all parties are working toward permanency as soon as possible. It is to make sure we catch every child who comes through the system and to ensure that none are lost. A judge from Utah really drove this point home a few months ago in a speech she made here in Georgia. File Cabinet Kids Judge Sharon McCully has been a juvenile court judge for 20 years in Salt Lake City. She said that she started her job primarily as a judge in a usual, traditional judicial role.
