The Indiana Department of Child Services Director is arguably one of the most important jobs in the state--- overseeing the welfare of abused and neglected children.
Miller took over in May 2023 following the resignation of Terry Stigdon and earns a salary of $195,000/year.Since taking over as director, the Indiana Department of Child Services has declined WRTV Investigates’ repeated requests to speak with Miller on-camera about his plans for the agency.
“I would say my biggest concern with DCS is the lack of urgency at times and filing appropriate things on time,” said Gandy. “Some of these filings lead to grievous mistakes that keep children in care longer.""My main concern is how long kids are sitting in foster care,” said Yerington. “I had a child who spent five years in foster care."
Miller already knows the inner workings of DCS because he served as chief of staff since 2017 until taking over as director on May 8.Gandy: “How can we make sure children are being better protected?" Sen. JD Ford, D-Indianapolis, has the same question for Miller.Ford serves on the Senate Family and Children Services Committee.
“The current chief of staff has engineered the hiring of his choices, driven out career professionals, engaged in bullying subordinates, created a hostile work environment, exposed the agency to lawsuits, overridden my decisions, been brazenly insubordinate, and made cost cutting decisions without my knowledge,” read Bonaventura’s 2017 letter. “The current chief of staff, with the position and authority he has been given by your office, is the greatest threat to this agency and child welfare.
