Community involvement critical says child welfare expert
Christine James-Brown, president and chief executive officer of the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA), says that if the upcoming 2010 White House Conference on Children and Youth is as successful as years before, as many as 1,000 local gatherings will take place to identify problems and solutions for neglected and abused children in the foster care system. James-Brown emphasizes that a critical component of foster care is community involvement. (0:40)
