Judge orders New York City, Administration for Children's Serviced to identify case workers who monitored still-missing boy, 7 - NYPOST.com

A federal judge today ordered New York City and its child welfare agency to identify case workers involved in monitoring a 7-year-old boy who disappeared last year from a foster home and has never been found.
The boy's mother, Jennifer Rodriguez, had filed suit against the city and its child welfare agency last fall, saying they failed to properly care for the boy and ignored complaints about his substandard foster care.
Judge John Gleeson in Brooklyn federal court threw out the suit against the city and its Administration for Children's Services agency, but ruled that Rodriguez now can bring a new lawsuit against individual workers from ACS and St. Vincent's Services, whom she blames for not supervising her boy's foster care.

The boy, Patrick Alford, Jr., disappeared on Jan. 22, 2010, after he slipped away while taking out the trash with his foster mom at her East New York home around 9 p.m.
