CONCORD — The New Hampshire Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled against a former state employee who accused the Department of Health and Human Services of failing to protect children from abuse and neglect.
Anna Carrigan, a former social worker, sued the department in February 2020 alleging that its handling of abuse and neglect cases is illegal and unconstitutional and that she had been retaliated against for publicly criticizing it. The agency later settled the retaliation claim for $120,000, and a superior court dismissed the rest of the lawsuit on the grounds that she lacked standing to sue.
