Child advocacy agency will review 500 foster care files » Corpus Christi Caller-Times
CORPUS CHRISTI — Attorneys for a New York-based child advocacy agency will examine the files of 500 children, a sampling of Texas’ permanent foster care system in an attempt to prove mistreatment and mismanagement plague the system.
It’s part of a federal lawsuit targeting the state’s foster care system, filed in the federal court in Corpus Christi in March. It asks for sweeping reforms of a system it claims puts children in harmful, mismanaged situations and overmedicates children who are shuffled from one place to another.
