The Quileute ICW is underfunded and understaffed. The tribe doesn't have much money and it is hard to get good people to move so far into the middle of nowhere. Native children are not under the jurisdiction of CPS, but instead ICW which is operated and funded by the individual tribes. So there is one ICW caseworker at quileute and an assistant, with no money to hire another or the resources to even find a good second case manager with a college degree and such. there is also a shortage of foster homes in the forks area sadly. it is very hard to find a home for a child that is as disabled as this one is. This kid was almost 3 years old and didn't speak any words yet. Kids like that get categorized as high needs and potential foster parents turn them away because of that.
