Court tosses 10 contempt rulings against DCFS director
-- There was a victory Wednesday for the head of the state's Department of Children and Family Services., a judge held DCFS Director Marc Smith in contempt of court for failing children. The rulings involved kids being left in hospitals longer than necessary.An Illinois Appellate Court panel on Wednesday ruled that the judge abused his discretion with the contempt of court findings against Smith – and overturned 10 of them.
The higher court did say however, that the lower court judge – former Cook County Public Guardian Patrick Murphy - was trying to address a widespread problem and that Smith has fallen"woefully short." The appellate court called DCFS failures with the kids referenced in the decisions"absolutely unacceptable."
