COURT REVIEW OF CASES RELATING 12+TO CHILDREN; ESTABLISHING THE CITIZENS’ REVIEW PANEL FOR 13+PERMANENCY PLANNING; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE 14+ 15+ WHEREAS, an obvious and clear historical context for public concerns 16+about both perceived and actual harm to children in state custody is amply 17+demonstrated and noticed in our community, not least by The Alaska Senate Family 18+Law Review Task Force proceedings contemporaneous with ch. 117, SLA 1990;

and, 23+ 24+ WHEREAS, appearances of impropriety through efforts to conceal, deny, 25+obstruct or pursue unreasonable litigati on to prevail against possible citizen complaints, 26+under the color of law, are counterproductive because any actual such efforts are 27+improper, inhumane, unnecessary, and wasteful of public resources; and, 28+ 29+ WHEREAS, citizen complaints against state agents , as well as useful 30+commentary of any kind, including that from state agents themselves, whether 31+substantial or frivolous, should be readily and vigorously acknowledged, examined, 32+corrected, or contradicted, as necessary, but never disregarded, in any case of a child 33+in state custody;
