LINCOLN, Neb. -- Refusal to work with attorneys, return phone calls or even tell authorities where foster children have been placed are among the complaints listed by several child-serving groups against Nebraska's child welfare services.

Voices for Children in Nebraska, Nebraska Appleseed and other groups gathered Wednesday in Lincoln and released a letter signed by more than 800 organizations and individuals calling on the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services for more information, transparency and accountability in the reform process.

The state has been transferring control of foster care and other child services to contractors.

The state has lost three of its five contractors over the past six months.

Nothing to see here, move along.  Government is good, people are bad.
