Eliminating Child Protection Services In Arizona (will its replacement save the children?)

Governor Brewer has eliminated the states Child Protective Services Department and replaced it with a new division.  Is this the silver bullet that will provide some safety to the thousands of AZ children living in horrid circumstances that have been ignored for years now?  (6000 cases ignored) (10,000 cases beyond the 60 day investigation limit)

Currently, 1000 caseworkers already have caseloads that are 77 percent above the standard.  It appears that the general public is mostly unconcerned, and not many legislators seem to be pulling for more child friendly programs.  For years now Arizona has ignored child protection.  It will surprise me if this effort makes much difference to the children of Arizona.
