DECLARATION OF "DEPENDENT CHILDREN"
• By the Juvenile Court
(Welfare & Institutions Code Sec. 300)
The Child Abuse Registry receives over 250 reports per month of suspected
child abuse or neglect in Orange County. Children who are reported to the
Registry or Child Protective Services as endangered by abuse, neglect or
abandonment may be taken into protective custody by police or sheriff's
officers if the situation is serious enough to place the child in immediate
danger. The child is immediately transported to Albert Sitton Home (ASH),
the County's dependent home, and an Application for Petition is filed with
the Juvenile Court to determine whether the child should be declared a
dependent under Section 300 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code
as follows:
"Any person under the age of 18 years who comes within any of the
following descriptions is within the jurisdiction of the Juvenile
Court which may adjudge such person to be a dependent child of the
court: A child
(a) "who is in need of proper and effective parental care or control
and has no parent or guardian, or has no parent or guardian willing
to exercise or capable of exercising such care or control, or has
no parent or guardian actually exercising such care or control."
• (b) "who is destitute, or who is not provided with the necessities of
life, or who is not provided with a home or suitable place of abode."
(c) "who is physically dangerous to the public because of a mental or
physical deficiency, disorder or abnormality."
(d) "whose home is an unfit place for him by reason of neglect, cruelty,
depravity, or physical abuse of either of his parents, or of his
guardian or other person in whose custody or care he is."
If the child is in protective custody, a decision to file a petition (accep-
tance) or to dismiss the Application (rejection) must be made and effected
within 48 hours of the time the child is taken into custody. The child may
be placed in an Emergency Shelter Home (ESH) if a bed is available and the
child does not require placement in a secure facility. Hospitalization may
be required in the case of injury or physical or mental illness. Whenever
possible, a minor who requires detention should be placed in an ESH. However,
if the minor meets the legal "Criteria for Secure Placement," or if he has
previously been declared a dependent child of the Juvenile Court, the minor
must be placed in a secure facility. If the minor is hospitalized and cannot
be moved immediately, or if he is medically inadmissible to ASH or an ESH,
the hospital can be designated as a detention facility until such time as the
minor can be moved.
• An intake worker at the dependent home conducts an initial investigation of
the alleged circumstances of each case and decides whether to dismiss or accept
Declaration of "Dependent Children" - 2 •
the Application for Petition, always with the primary goal to protect the
child. If the application is dismissed, the intake worker may refer the
family to another program within the Human Services Agency or to another
community resource for services.
If a petition is filed with the Juvenile Court, the case is assigned to
an Investigation Worker for a more thorough assessment and a formal recom-
mendation to the court. A detention hearing must be held within one judicial
day after a petition has been filed to determine whether a child should be
held in protective custody pending investigation of the allegations or be
released to the parents or other relatives.
The Investigation Worker conducts a thorough investigation of the situation
and presents a summary and recommendation at a pretrial hearing in the Juvenile
Court. This hearing must be held within 15 judicial days after the detention
hearing. The Worker also places and supervises the child in foster care if
necessary, until the hearing. Most children are placed in foster homes or
with relatives at this point.
The purpose of the pretrial hearing is to enable the child's attorney, County
Counsel (representing the petitioner -HSA) and Defense Attorney or Public
Defender (representing the parents) to formally discuss the case to determine
if they can resolve the matter without a jurisdictional hearing (trial).
Sometimes, a series of pretrial hearings is necessary before agreement is •
reached as to the petition. Only .3% of all Dependency referrals go to trial.
Others are settled at the pretrial stage with the child declared a dependent
of the court or the petition dismissed.
A dispositional hearing is then held for a child who is declared a dependent.
The court must then decide the appropriate placement and course of action to
be taken with the child. The case is assigned to a Dependency Continuing
Worker who provides direct service to the child and his family with the goal
of protecting the child until the natural parents are able to provide a safe
residence for the child, or of making other arrangements for the child when
rehabilitation of the family is not feasible or successful. In some cases,
children may need to be kept in protective custody for several months, but
in most cases, the immediate problem is resolved in a short time. During
1979, the average length of stay at the dependent home was 14 days.
Approximately 40 % of dependent children are released from the dependent home
to their own parents. The remainder are placed with relatives (10 %), in foster
homes, group homes, or therapeutic institutions for varying periods of time.

ENTIRETY WITHIN THE NEW FACILITY, ORANGE-
WOOD)

HSA /Social Serivice

SCOPE OF PROGRAM
A. Definition
Albert Sitton Home is a protected residential center where
dependent and neglected children are detained:
1. For their protection,
2. Pending possible judicial action, or
3. Pending replacement if previously adjudicated as
Dependent Children.
B. Purpose
To provide temporary, safe, and caring shelter to children who,
to protect them from abuse, neglect or exploitation, must be
physically removed from the care of their parents /caretakers
or are without care.
To minimize the mental and emotional trauma experienced by
the child, and his parents /caretakers, as a result of their
sudden separation from each other and because of circumstances
which led to the child's removal.
To prepare the child either for return to his own home, for
replacement, or for any other plan developed for him.
C. Objectives
To admit only those children who cannot be cared for in the
home of parents, relatives, friends, or emergency shelter
parents. Capacity is 88 beds with approximately 2000 children receiving
services on an annual basis.
To ensure that the time the child spends in ASH is as brief
as possible. Average length of stay is currently 14 days.
To provide a treatment oriented setting where emphasis is placed
on providing children with a supportive therapeutic milieu in
which the trauma experienced as a result of having been either
abused, neglected or abandoned and removed from their homes is
immediately addressed. With a direct service, diagnostic
assessment and crisis intervention capability, ASH Staff working
in a multi - disciplinary team approach formulate objectives and goals
which will be of assistance after the child leaves ASH.
To have the capability to respond to Court requirements at all
times.
D. Philosophy
ASH acts in the interest of children with the goal of ensuring
that their human and legal rights are placed above other
E.
-2-
Philosophy (Continued)
considerations, at the same time recognizing and preserving
parental rights and .jorking toward conserving and strengthen-
ing family life and parental care. When parental rights are
temporarily abrogated by the Court, ASH ensures continuity
of parental involvement from the time the child is detained until
Court adjudication and implementation of Dependency supervision
or until other services are provided.
The circumstances which necessitate placing a child in shelter
care and his separation from familiar persons and surroundings
result in anxiety and trauma for him. Each child is given
individualized care and treatment with the expectation that
immediate anxiety and trauma will be relieved, initial emotional
problems and inappropriate behavior responses alleviated, and
nurture, support, and guidance is given throughout the detention
and court process. The interaction of well- trained and caring
adult staff with the children in their day -to -day routines is
of major therapeutic importance to the children.
The well -being of the whole child, i.e. his physical, mental,
and emotional needs, is met by using a range of assessment and
treatment methodologies. Parents /caretakers, significant others,
clinical consultants, counseling staff, medical and education
staff, and the Dependency workers are involved in the assess-
ment and treatment process. ASH's accountability to the
community is met by use of volunteers to enhance quality of
service.
ESH Intake Criteria
All children accepted by Dependency Intake are screened by the ESH/
ASH social workers to determine the most suitable placement for
them. Among the factors taken into account are the following:
1. Availability of Emereencv Shelter Homes - ESH facilities shall
be the preferred placement resource and shall be used unless
there are no vacancies or unless one or more of the following
conditions exists:
a) The child's need for protection: In situations in which
the parents continue to pose a serious threat to the
child's physical or emotional well- being, the child shall
be housed at ASH for his safety.
b) The inability of the parents to accept their child's
placement in ESH. When the child's parents show signs
of serious emotional and /or mental instability which
precludes their ability to work cooperatively with ESH
parents or who would otherwise pose a serious threat
to the ESH parents, the child shall be placed at ASH.
-J_
E. ASH /ESH Intake Criteria (Continued)
lk c) Serious problems exhibited by the child: In those
instances in which the child poses a danger to the
person or property of others or exhibits serious
emotional, mental, and /or physical problems, placement
at ASH is indicated.
2. The aae of the child - It shall be the policy to avoid placing
any cMld at ASH un er the age of six years unless one or more
of the above conditions exists.
3. The availability of other placement resources - Children
who have been adjudged dependents of the Juvenile Court are
lodged at ASH only if no other placement resources are
available or suitable. Those cases are scheduled at
intake for a 15 -day judicial review and have a filing
of the petition within 48 hours of placement in ASH.
4. Specific court orders - In cases where the Juvenile Court
has specifically ordered a child to be lodged at ASH, there
shall be compliance with that.order.
F. Assessment
(.' Clinical consultants and counseling staff assess the needs of
the child and his family by the following methods:
1. Review application for petition, police reports and any other
atd a made available by Dependency Intake to determine the
circumstances that resulted in the child's need for protection.
2. Interyiewino all parties to the action - The child. his Parents,
if possible, and other persons with knowledge of the circum-
stances of the case are interviewed by staff if available.
3. Observation of behavior - Staff notes the behavior of the
child and his family during the intake process to determine
outward manifestation of possible areas of dysfunction. His
developmental needs are assessed by counseling staff within
seven days of his admission.
4. Review of family history - All available social, medical, and
psyc o ogicai history of the child and his parents are to. be
reviewed and compiled by ASH Social Work staff.
5. Screening - The child is screened medically and, when indicated,
receives psychological or psychiatric evaluation.
6. Education assessment - While in 'ASH, school -age children
wwi T receive an assessment to determine their educational
/ needs if at all possible.
Treatment Plan
ASH social.workers - and counseling staff have the responsi-
bility for formulating an individual treatment plan for each
child admitted to ASH. The plan includes the following
components.

O RAN CE;JOOD
HCD ELIGIBILITY
The Orangewood project is eligible for I1CD funds in that;
1. At least 80° of the children come from low
or moderate income families. In a sample
study clone by the II.Lman Services Agency in
1980, it was learned that 80" of the children
had come from homes where there was some
kind of welfare assistance and would he
classified as low to moderate income.
2. Based on the 1980 Child Abuse Registry reports,
it is clear that approximately 4h of the
children reported were of minority background.
3. Based on the same report, approximately 44'0
of the children come from single- parent
families.
4. Dependent children h --ve been emotionally,
mentally, and physically deprived. ^tort
i of-ten, they cD-c to the tem:)orary er..erccncy
l:3^ shelter in a crisis situation.
5. Dependent children often have special needs.
Many are physically ill or have had injuries
inflicted on them. Casts, wheelchairs, and
crutches are prevalent. Some children
stiffer from inalnutriti.or- and require
special diets. Some vouncrsters have com-
municable diseases and must be isolated
from the rest. Sone children are hvpar-
active, some retarded; and these problems
must be addressed.
orangewood is also eligible for HCD funds in that:
1. The new facility will replace an old -;.rd
inadequate building and generally will
upgrade the comple :: into %:hick it is being
integrated. Children temporarily housed
in the ne:r facility will be niven the op-
portunity to have their physi-ca.l and
emotional :: ounds h al ^r. in a s -rarm and
caring at nospher_e ant? will be able to
participate in c}:il ihood activities
intended to normalize their hehavi.or and
•_ provide therm •..ith opportunities ;.o develon
into healthy, hanc,y, productive adults.
-2-
i
' This may result in breaking the abusive
I cycle. It is well clocumentod that the
abused tend to become abusers if thera-
peutic intervention is not applied.
Further, Orangewood is eligible for HCD funds in that:
1. Nearly every component of the facility
meets HCD requirements. The recreation
facilities are designed to be used for
therapeutic purposes, not for spectator
sports. Bleachers may be incorporated in
the gymnasium, which will become an all -
purpose recreation center, but the children
would be using the bleachers to watch
performances which volunteers bring to
the horse for their enrichment and enjoyment.
2. It is anticipated that foster parents and
other persons would use this facility for
meeting or q,-ou.p activities which benefit
denendent children.
3. Only a small fraction of the total con -
structicn costs will be devoted to admini-
stration faci?.iti.s =s, which will house the
.offices of County staff who provide support
and court services necessary to imnlement
the dependency program. Housing these
support services adjacent to the residential
components will enhance and expedite the
services necessary for denendcnt. children.
No IICD funds would be used for construction
of administration offices.
Further, Orangewood will be eligible for HCD funds in that:
1. Plans to spend the requested funds in the
fiscal year 1902 -19II3 are being carefully
worked out in the r;ener_al construction time
frame and will be used only on those
elements of the facility which fully meet
the eligibility requirements.
Further, Oranae•.rood.o ;ill be. eligible for HCD funding in that:
1. Dependent children., by law, must be seg-
regated from delin(_uents, so there is nn
possibilit; t:�t innotes from ,Juvenile
Hall or the other nearby facilities will
be using the °_;�cility designated as the
emeraencv shelter facility.
r:
-3-
2. Dependent children are hcnsed temporarily
in the emergency shelter facility until
more nremar.ent arrangements are made for
their care.
Further, Orangewood is eligible for HCD funds in that:
1• There will be the capability for increase
in service. The current facility was
built in 1959 to house 35 children. It
has been e�:_oanded to a maximum rated
capacity of 88. The new facility is
Planned to house 154 children and provide
for additional recreational facilities
and other amenities which will enhance
the treatment and care provided for
dependent children.

demonstrates that if the governmental and private sectors work together, solutions
for social needs can be achieved, and
WHEREAS, the California Council on Children and Youth - Orange County Chapter

"Even more than the additional

The push to build a new home
was prompted by dramatic in-
creases in recent years in the num-
bers of abused children who require
some kind of protective care.
Built in 1959 to accommodate,
only 35 children, the Sitton Home
has seen its daily population grow
to more than 100. Before a series of
expansions brought the capacity of:
the home up to 128, overcrowding
had come to be a way of life.
With the latest expansion — the.
conversion of an adjacent school fa -!

But the numbers of children
needing the care of a Sitton home
are not expected to stand still.
So the drive to build a new home
was begun more than a year ago.

On Behalf of the Children
Today's economy is producing a new fiscal phe-
nomenon - private financing of public projects.
To be sure, taxpayers are not willing to subsidize
just any project in addition to the heavy taxes that
they already pay. But, when they see that basic
needs, such a protecting and caring for children,
are being jeopardized by a lack Of tax funds, they
often show an admirable sense of responsibility.
This is being demonstrated in Atlanta, where
private and corporate donations are being made to
help fund police invcstigatianS into the slayings of
20 black youngsters. And in Orange County, for
the first time in its history, private sources are
mobilizing to erect a public building -- a SG- million
facility to replace the severely overcrowded Albert
Sltton Home, which houses the county's dependent,
abused, abandoned and buttered children.
Last year, the county board did everything
that it could to make room for all children who
needed the shelter. It also faced the hard fiscal
fact that, with the ticket budgeting that resulted
from Proposition 13 and other factors, it would be
years before it could replace the overcrowded
facility with one of adequate size. Private industry
responded with money for a feasibility Study.:md
the result was the formation of a non profit corpora-

tion headed by well -known business leaders, to raise
private funds to build a new honre on county -owned
land.
Attorneys have donated their legal services.
Architectural designs are being prepared by volcm-
teer Professionals. And last week the first major
cash contribution, S 17,000, came from the Junior
League of Newport Harbor. (The money must he
matched within six months by cash donations from
Others in the community, but that seems to he no
problem -)
Without even soliciting funds, the corporation
for the new home has also received about 525,000
from such diverse sources as a Boy Scout troop, the
housekeepers at the Disneyland Hotel and a group
Of bus drivers.
If community funds come in as anticipated, a
new facility capable of caring for 154 children daily
can be completed within three years. We hope that
it can be done even sooner.
Children deserve the best care possible, espe-
eially youngsters who have been so mistreated.
They need a place where they can be secure, a
place built and stuffed by adults whom they cull
trust. The unique community drive to replace
the Sitton Home seeks to meet that goad.

Providing for a Provider
Only in rare instances do we editorially support
fund- raising drives. That's not because there are so
few worthy efforts but because there are so many
that it's difficult to draw the line.
We would be remiss, however, if' we sat on the
sidelines in the unusual fund- raising drive recently
launched by the county to build a new home for
Orange County's dependent children.
The plight of Tile overcrowded Albert Sitton
Home is a familiar one. For a long time it has been
struggling along, short of space but always ready to
make room for another battered, abused, abandoned
or molested child who needs the shelter the home
provides. And always, it provides. It has pert cribs
in offices, mattresses on the floor and once even
was forced to keep three infants in a hospital
several days after they were well enough to leave
because there was no room at the home and no
Place else for the babies to go. But it provided.
We won't dwell nn cold statistics or reports from
outside agencies and commissions that praise the
home and the efforts of the staff, but term the need
for an immediate permanent solution to the over-
crowding as critical.
Copyright, 1980, Los Angeles Tinier.
Reprinted by permission.
In the past, the community, aware of the prob-
lem has responded with unsolicited donations to the
Shelter. And now, faced with a shortage of money,
the county Board of Supervisors has decided to go
to the public and seek enough private funds to build
a new home.
WC have seen early signs of support, and it non-
profit organization called La Casa (the Children's
Assistance Support Auxiliary) has been formed to
help build a new haven for the victims of child abuse.
Seeking an estimated S5 million in private fund-
ing for a public facility it is obligated to provide
may seem a curious approach for government to
take, but the county supervisors contend that funds
are scarce in these post- Proposition 13 days and the
home is needed today, not years from now.
Child abuse, some officials believe, is close to
epidemic proportions in Orange County. Since
January, seven youngsters have lost their lives as
a direct result of child abuse. And in the first nine
months of this year nearly, 2,000 children have
been cared for at the Albert Sitton Home. That's a
couple of thousand reasons for building the new
home as soon as possible.

In a letter dated June 1, 1982 (Attachment 1), the Chairman
of the Orangewood Leadership Council requested that the City
Council approve a grant of $42,000 toward the construction of
Orangewood, a new home for dependent children which would replace
the old and overcrowded Albert Sitton Home. The amount requested,
as noted in the letter, was based upon the scope of the project
and the fact that it represented a one time only appeal for
financial assistance. Additionally, the actual use of the Sitton
Home facilities for Newport Beach Police referrals and the re-
lative size and population of this City, as opposed to other
contributing cities, was taken into account in determining the
size of the Newport Beach allocation request.
On June 14, 1982, during the Fiscal Year 1982 -83 budget review,
the City Council approved the concept of a $42,000 grant toward
the Orangewood Project with the understanding that a specific
proposal and budget amendment would come back to the Council
for final approval.

A New Home For Dependent Children
The Honorable Jackie Heather
Mayor, City of Newport Beach
3300 Newport Blvd.
Newport Beach, CA 92663
Dear Mayor Heather:
Orangewood - a new home for dependent children will replace the
overcrowded and deteriorated Albert Sitton Home as Orange County's
only site of safety and refuge for the dependent children who are
in need of emergency shelter and advocacy as a result of the abuse,
neglect, abandonment, or unexpected parental loss they have experi-
enced.
Sitton Home admissions of children ages five days to eighteen years
have reached shockingly high levels (representing every Orange County
community and social strata) and show no signs of declining to the
former levels which can be adequately served by the current facility.
The Orange County 1980 Custodial Care Master Plan concluded from
population projections and other information that the temporary
shelter needs for dependent children will continue to increase un-
abated through the mid- 1990's. By way of example, the Child Abuse
Registry recorded 5,927 cases during 1981, an increase of 1,224
reports, or 26 %, over 1980. Reported Orange County child abuse
increased 125% in the five -year period 1977 -81.
Since 1977 -78 Sitton Home has experienced a 110% growth from 1,110
admissions to an estimated 2,300 admissions in 1981 -82. The emer-
gency shelter is one aspect of the mandated child protection services,
which includes foster home placement as well as efforts to return
children to their homes. However, the availability of this essential
short -term housing has reached a state of urgency which requires an
immediate answer.
Originally built in 1959 to house 35 children, Albert Sitton Home
has in its capacity to 88 by converting service porches, play
areas and classrooms to dormitories over the years. During the interim
period for the capital fund development and new construction, Sitton
Home has altered additional classrooms in the adjacent Greeley School
to serve as temporary dormitories.

To accommodate the increasing numbers and properly serve the children
with therapeutic programs and court - related services, Orangewood will
house 154 children (daily capacity) on seven acres contributed by the
County at 401 City Drive South (site of Greeley School), Orange. The
facility, estimated to cost $7,000,000, will be dedicated to the County
of Orange upon completion for the conduct of the dependent care program.
In addition, the County will continue to fund the daily operational
costs.
The magnitude and urgency of the need is being addressed by an un-
precedented and cooperative effort through the private and public
sectors. Volunteers from throughout the County joined together to
solve this specific problem by organizing a nonprofit corporation for
the purpose of raising funds and constructing the new home. The
Orangewood Leadership Council, which is the volunteer group conducting
the capital campaign, is seeking approximately eighty percent, or
$5,600,000, of the total need from private sources, with the remainder,
$1,400,000, to be funded by Orange County cities and the County, based
on their proportionate share of Sitton Home admissions.
To date, private sources have contributed or pledged $3,597,000,
including two challenge grants. William Lyon, chairman of the Orange-
wood board, has challenged the thirteen - member board to match his
$1,000,000 pledge with their collective gifts; that goal has been
achieved. In addition, the trustees of the Harry G. Steele Foundation
have pledged to contribute $1,000,000 if donations are raised to match
the grant.
Public sector commitments totaling $755,000 have been made by the
cities of Anaheim, Buena Park, Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, Fullerton,
Garden Grove, Irvine and Orange as well as the County of Orange.
Proposals are pending with several cities and the county.
During 1980 Sitton Home admitted 1,314 children from law enforcement
sources, including 33 children, or 3#%, from the Newport Beach Police
Department. In 1981, 1,346 admissions were referred by law enforce-
ment agencies, including 34 children, or 3 %, from the Newport Beach
Police Department.
On behalf of Orangewood - a new home for dependent children, we
present this information to you and request consideration of a grant
of $42,000 toward the construction of the emergency shelter. The
magnitude of this request has been determined by the magnitude of
the need and by the one - time -only nature of this appeal.
