FOSTER CARE ABUSE AND NEGLIGENCE
DERATANY & KOSNER ACCEPTS CASES INVOLVING ABUSED OR NEGLECTED CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY
The disturbing headlines about abused or neglected children who were placed in foster homes appear all too frequently. A foster parent is prosecuted because he left an infant alone to die in a hot car. A child is sexually molested by a teenager living in the foster home. A foster parent is charged with stabbing an adopted child. A small child is injured after being placed in a home with a convicted felon who has a history of domestic violence.
Deratany & Kosner, formerly The Deratany Firm, regularly represents foster families who suffered an injury due to a foster care agency or social services agency that neglected to inform the parents of known behavioral or family history issues.
