NewzA new report filed as part of an ongoing federal lawsuit reveals that Mississippi’s foster care system is failing to meet dozens of mandated safety requirements. The findings indicate that the state’s child welfare agency continues to endanger children in its custody at rates that exceed the limits established by a pre-existing federal court order.
The report emerges as the state of Mississippi is actively seeking to dismiss the federal lawsuit. The Mississippi Department of Child Protection remains the subject of the oversight mandated by the court as it attempts to address these persistent safety deficiencies.
