BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People. Questions and Answers from the Brantley County Department or Family And Children Services By Mrs. Leila Turner, Director Family and Children Services for Brantley County announces the names of board members. They are as follows: W. M. (Bo) Batten, chairman and mem ber from Hickox; Charles Stahl, vice chairman and member from Hortense; Albert Purdom from Nahunta and Mr. L. E. Dickerson from Hoboken. The Department of Family and Children Services will be happy to help you with their many ser vices at any time. There are three questions that are asked them often, and they would like to answer them for you. 1. Is Public Assistance availa ble to a mother c-nd her chil dren who live in home of a rel ative and have no other means of support? Public Assistance may be availa ble to provide the basic neces sities for the children and a par ent or relative caretaker if need ed. The children can receive pub lic assistance while living, in the heme of a relative if they are otherwise eligible and if there is no close relative who is capable of providing for them. The place of residence in this instance, is not part of the eligibility criter ia. 2. If an absent father refuses to pay child support and the chil dren are in need can anything be done by the Department of Fam ily and Children Services? The children may be eligible for Public Assistance. If they meet all eligibility requirements and are found to be in need such assistance will be granted. How ever, the appropriate law enfor cement agency must be notified of the fact that the father is not meeting his support obligations to his children. In addition, full co operation in efforts to obtain child support from the father would be necessary. 3. Are there any disc-bility bene fits for people who are disabled but not bedfast? Neither Social Security disability payments nor the Department of Family art' Children Services' Aid to the per manently and totally disabled program requires that the reci pient be bedfc<t? If the disabled person has work ed for some time under Social Se curity he might be eligible for benefits from this source. If how ever that person is in urgent need and otherwise eligible the Department of Family and Child ren Services may be able to help until eligibility for Social Secur ity is determined. How many children in Georgia receive Child Welfare Services? In 1962, 6005 children were re ceiving Child Welfare Services. Were those mostly children in rural families? No. The great majority of these were in the urban counties. 101 counties were serving less than 20 children, in 1962, 76 counties were serving less than 10 child ren. At that time only 28 Georgia counties had full time child wel fare workers. These 28 counties with only more than fifty per cent of the state’s children had all the full time child welfare workers and spent eighty-seven percent of all money expended on boarding care during the fiscal year. Fulton County alone had one-third of the staff and ac counted for a full fifty percent of all expenditures for boarding care. How many institutions are op erated by Georgia State Depart ment of Family and Children Services for children? Three. They are the Girls Training School in Atlanta, The Boys Training School in Milledge ville, and the Training School in Augusta.
