Lisa, age 12, was a foster child in Florida and was recently placed with her grandmother in Alabama via Interstate Compact for the Placement of Children (ICPC). Which state is responsible for writing court reports for Lisa and providing financially for her?

Florida
Alabama
Both Florida and Alabama
The federal government

The correct answer is: Florida

In this situation, since Lisa was a foster child in Florida, Florida is responsible for writing court reports for her and providing financially for her. This is because the state where a foster child was originally placed maintains responsibility for the child, even if the child is placed in another state via the ICPC. Option B is incorrect because Alabama is currently the state where Lisa is placed, but this does not relieve Florida of its responsibility as the state where Lisa was originally placed as a foster child. Option C is incorrect because only one state is responsible for a foster child, even if the child is placed in another state. Option D is incorrect because the federal government is not responsible for the financial and court-related duties of foster children, this responsibility lies with the individual state.
