Oregon foster care nightmare exposed
Sunday, April 5th, 2009Of course we knew too much about it before it broke in the papers. David Paul’s case on behalf of the Collins twins against Oregon’s Department of Human Services is winding to a close. A detailed report here appeared in the Sunday Oregonian. David has done another masterful job of representing kids who fall off the radar.
The article details the worst kind of abuse and neglect. The foster parents claim that they did nothing wrong. Anyone who reads the article can only wonder how anyone could treat innocent kids this way.
David’s most important work here is shining a light on the abuse and the neglect. It would thrill us both silly if this is the last case of DHS neglect and foster parent abuse that Oregon ever sees.
