The B.H. Consent Decree was an alternative avenue for change in this situation because it allowed not only for policy change, but also for accountability from DCFS to ensure maximum benefits to children. By putting children at the forefront of policy change, the B.H. Consent Decree ensured the changes would target their needs in a way traditional policy was not satisfying. It brought deficiencies to light and corrected them.
53 Consent Decree, supra note 35.

58 See generally 325 ILL. COMP. STAT. ANN. §5/3 (When a parent has been “indicated” of child abuse or neglect it means that credible evidence was found that the alleged abuse and neglect exists. When this an investigation is unfounded, it means that there is not credible evidence that the alleged abuse or neglect existed. If an indicated report is later unfounded, it means that the adult’s record is expunged of this finding and the status of the report changes.).
