Judge allows foster mother accused of child abuse to see biological childrenÂ
Gloria Gomez reports.
TAMPA, Fla. - Amanda Gary has been a foster mother for years. Her attorney, Rick Escobar, says children are her life. I would characterize Amanda Gary as the foster mother of the decade, said Escobar.
Gary was arrested for aggravated child abuse of a six-week-old foster child. Prosecutors say the baby’s legs were broken and the baby was rushed to the hospital. Medical staff alerted authorities who later arrested Gary.
But Escobar says, there was a series of mistakes made by medical staff and a rush to judgment by child protection investigators.
