It was the Plan Commission recommendation to allow this rezoning and special use. d. Dement stated he understands some of these children could be attending our schools. What would be the nature of their problems? Dr. Neubeck responded primarily it is a break down in family structure and many. cases it is a short. term, while some group is working with the family to try to restabilize it, then the primary goal would be to try to return . the children to the family home condition. If this cannot be done, then we would .look for long term foster homes, rather than long term group home facility. We have no group homes at present. The children will come from Will County, southwest Dupage County, Naperville and Aurora Areas.
