Some of Coloradoâs most vulnerable, traumatized and challenged children could get caught in a web of well-intended but misguided new state and federal rules. It could undermine the stateâs ability to meet these childrenâs needs for mental health, behavioral and substance-abuse care. That, in turn, could cause a ripple effect throughout Coloradoâs system for children who cannot be cared for in their own homes.
