Attorneys are critically important to the functioning and success of child and family welfare.

It can be overwhelming to DCS to confront the many problems children and families face in the system.

At KLS, whether we are privately hired or court appointed, whether we represent the children or the parents, we look at each case as primarily having one legal problem: the child is in the custody of the state when they should have permanency in a healthy home. KLS focuses on solving that problem and improving the system.

We love this work, we appreciate the people who do it. We are committed to help children families and society at large.

Fridays at 11 p.m. CST through Sundays at 11 p.m. CST — the hotline reporting will be online in an attempt to increase the efficiency of the hotline and reduce long wait times for public callers. A recorded message will allow callers to submit information through DCS’s secure online referral portal. The hotline will remain staffed during weekend hours, and online reports will be reviewed in real-time. (The dedicated line for law enforcement and medical personnel will remain available during weekend hours.)

DCS Places Children Out-of-State Due to Shortages
The Tennessee Department of Children’s Services (DCS) confirmed on Thursday that due to insufficient in-state resources children are being placed with out-of-state providers. As of October, 229 children had been placed out of state due to lack of resources. DCS says it is working to address the issue by recruiting more providers in Tennessee, expanding its placement network and implementing a real estate plan to create additional capacity. To help families maintain connections during this time, the department says it is providing financial assistance to offset travel costs.
