Review over girl left in foster home

The review, jointly commissioned by the HSE and Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, will endeavour to establish the full facts of the case of ‘Mary’, who was resident in the foster home in the Cork region.

Last week, it was revealed the teenager was left with a foster carer, accused of sex abuse, for up to 21 months after two other children in the home were removed for their safety. The allegation against the foster carer did not involve alleged abuse of the children and young adult in question.
