Anyone familiar with the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) and how this law applies to programs like Whitmore Academy and referring companies like P.U.R.E?

Interstate Compact on Placement of Children
The Compact is a uniform law enacted by all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and the Virgin Islands to assist in the placement of children from one state to another.

Provisions of the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) ensure the same protection and services to children as if they had remained in their home state.

The Compact applies to:

Children who are wards of the court and are being placed with a parent or relative when a parent or relative is not making the placement;


Children who are entering foster care or a placement for the purpose of adoption;


Children who are wards of the court for placement in a group home and/or residential treatment facility;


Children who are to be placed in a group home and/or residential treatment facility by a legal guardian;

Children who are placed by a legal guardian with a person outside of the third degree of relationship;

Children who are adjudicated delinquents for placement in a group home and/or residential treatment facility.

ICPC provides the sending agency the opportunity to obtain home studies in the receiving state prior to placement of the child.

The prospective receiving state ensures that the placement is not ?contrary to the best interests of the child? and that all applicable laws and policies are followed before it approves the placement.

ICPC guarantees the child?s legal and financial protection once the child moves to the receiving state. The sending agency receives the opportunity to obtain supervision and regular reports on the child?s adjustment and progress in the placement.

The sending agency is defined as a party state to the Compact, officer or employee, a subdivision of a party state, a court of a party state, a person, corporation, association, charitable agency or other entity which sends, brings, or causes to be sent or brought any child into another party state.

Placement is defined as the arrangement for the care of a child in a family home, or boarding home, or group home and/or residential treatment facility.

The Compact does not apply to placement of children into any institution caring for the mentally ill, mentally defective or epileptic, or any institution primarily educational in character, and/or any hospital or other medical facility.

The Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC) is a binding and enforceable contract between two states when a child has the approval to be placed with a family or facility in another state. The Interstate Compact includes referrals on parents, relatives, foster parents, adoptive parents, and residential treatment facilities. Relatives of the first degree are excluded from the Interstate Compact if the test is met in Article VIII (Limitations) of the law. Persons who can initiate Interstate Compact referrals are private parties, the court, attorneys, and private and public child welfare agencies. Under no circumstances can a child be placed in another state without the approval of the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children's Office. The child welfare agencies may send a child to visit a relative in another state for up to 30 days and during the summer school vacation with court approval without an Interstate Compact.

Any Whitmore parents sign this paperwork with P.U.R.E. or Whitmore when enrolling your children there, or was this "mandated" paperwork just ignored?

This ICPC paperwork should have been part of the enrollment package. That is how it is done with PROFESSIONAL Educational Consultants, anyway, for my understanding.

How would parents know about this required paperwork if it was not disclosed to them at the time of enrollment? Who is required to check this paperwork with all these programs in Utah?

I don't remember exactly, but I think there was an application, and later an acknowledgement/acceptance from the State of Utah.

What's going on with this (the ICPC)????  Aren't all programs in every state supposed to comply with this rule?  Utah has a lot of programs, more than any state.  Sure hope they are on the ball when it comes to compliance with this very important and federally mandated program.

The Sudweeks were not in compliance with ICPC mandated regulations when my child was enrolled at Whitmore, and the authorities a aware of this fact. Nor was PURE, who referred us to Whitmore Academy.

Anyone know if PURE's owner and referring consultant is being held accountable for the abuse against the kids from their friend  cheryl?

It makes sense to me if they were.

Who checks this ICPC paperwork when the Sudweeks are moving these kids in and out of the country, now that they have these kids up in Canada?
