Foster mum falsely accused of facilitating porn access

A mother who had fostered a child for more than 10 years was falsely accused by the HSE of facilitating his access to pornography in the family home, an investigation by the Irish Examiner has learned.

Three months after the teenager had left her home to return to the care of the State, Rosaleen Jones was informed by letter that he had made a disclosure stating he had accessed the pornography with her knowledge, in the home.

The letter informed her that a social worker wished to visit her home to discuss the matter.
