Federal judge rules that watchdog suit over state's foster care system may go ahead
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A lawsuit alleging that foster children in Rhode Island are routinely neglected and at risk of harm while in state custody may go forward, a federal judge has ruled.
The class-action lawsuit filed by the national watchdog group Children's Rights says the state's foster care system is plagued by widespread, systemic problems that leave children's needs unmet and put youth at risk of emotional and physical harm.
