Nine foster children have filed a class action lawsuit against the Indiana Department of Child Services on behalf of 11,000 children in the state’s child welfare system.
The director of the state child protection agency is leaving her post after five years to become chief executive officer of the American Red Cross, Indiana chapter.
A former Indiana DCS family case manager in Bartholomew County will serve three years of probation and must pay $1,741 in restitution after admitting to obstruction of a child abuse assessment.
