Foster Care Personal Injury Attorney Serving Kansas & Missouri

Abuse and neglect by foster parents occur when foster parents fail to provide essential care, such as adequate food, clothing, shelter, supervision, medical attention, or emotional support. Abuse and neglect by foster parents can take many devastating forms, including:

• Physical harm, such as hitting or excessive punishment

• Emotional abuse, including verbal insults, manipulation, or rejection

These actions or omissions can severely impact a child's well-being, development, and safety, and they violate the basic trust placed in foster parents. At my firm, I strive to protect victims of abuse or neglect from foster care parents and hold those parents accountable for breaching their responsibilities.

Negligence by foster agencies occurs when these organizations fail in their duty to thoroughly vet foster parents, monitor placements, or address reports of abuse and neglect. This includes:

• Placing children in unsafe or inappropriate homes

• Ignoring red flags during background checks

• Failing to conduct regular welfare visits

When foster agencies neglect these crucial responsibilities, they compromise the safety and welfare of the children they are tasked with protecting, exposing them to potential harm that could have been prevented. I am dedicated to holding foster agencies accountable for negligence and advocating for the rights of the children and families who have been affected by these failures.
