In Oklahoma there are 5,800 children in foster care.  There are 81,249 reports of alleged child abuse every year.  Each year there are 15,809 children confirmed as victims of child abuse or neglect.  There are 6,217 Child Protective Service Case workers. It is our goal to raise the pay of Oklahoma Child Protective Service Case Workers in order to decrease the shortage of caseworkers and increase the quality of caseworkers.
