75 children at risk put under HSE supervision
New figures released under the Freedom of Information Act show 32 children in the South Lee HSE area – taking in the southside of Cork city and surrounding county – were placed under supervision orders by a judge at the request of social workers, the highest figure for any area in HSE South.
The number included a one-week-old boy in the south of the city, who is still under the supervision order but living at home, after the court granted the order last November on grounds of protection.
