237.2 PURPOSE.
It is the policy of this state to provide appropriate protection
for children who are separated from the direct personal care of their
parents, relatives, or guardians and, as a result, are subject to
difficulty in achieving appropriate physical, mental, emotional,
educational, or social development. This chapter shall be construed
and administered to further that policy by assuring that child foster
care is adequately provided by competently staffed and well-equipped
child foster care facilities, including but not limited to
residential treatment centers, group homes, and foster family homes.
