Bill to reshuffle court jurisdiction gets panel’s OK | Rhode Island news | projo.com | The Providence Journal
PROVIDENCE — The state House Judiciary Committee Tuesday evening approved a bill that, if enacted, would reshuffle the current lineup of towns served by the Judiciary Department’s district courts, moving several of them to the courthouse in Warwick.
A bill that deals with how children in DCYF custody should be informed of their legal rights as foster children drew emotional testimony from women who said their children had been put in the custody of either abusive spouses or foster homes, and from adults who spent time in the custody of DCYF and suffered abuse during those times.
