YAKIMA, Wash. —
Six brothers who were abused by their father, mother and mother's boyfriend have settled a lawsuit against the state Department of Social and Health Services for $6.55 million.
Blaine Tamaki, a Yakima attorney for the brothers and the grandmother who ultimately gained custody of them, announced the settlement agreement Tuesday morning as the case was scheduled to go to trial.
"We do hope that through this settlement they can be rehabilitated and provided with the tools to be productive adults," Tamaki said in a telephone interview. "The $6.55 million is a fair sum of money to compensate them for the abuse they suffered and to aid them so they can have a bright future."
