Pasadena Foster Care Abuse Lawyer

Every year thousands of children are placed into foster care either temporarily or permanently. Unfortunately, this history also sometimes makes them targets for further abuse from predators. When a child enters foster care, the county has an obligation to ensure that child’s safety. However, that does not always happen. In some cases, children have been placed with foster parents who suffer from severe mental illness.

While social workers are required to visit these homes and interview foster parents, this does not always take place. Social workers’ workloads and visiting requirements may sometimes exceed their ability to make regular visits. This is usually due to budgetary cutbacks and poor staffing. When this occurs, it is tempting for a social worker to take shortcuts and not visit the home. Many social workers will lie and document that they did, in fact, visit the home. With our legal experience, we have seen all kinds of foster abuse case. We have heard the many reasons for why this abuse is taking place. Some signs of foster abuse are emotional retraction from the abused child, unexplained bruises and unexplained anger.
