Tusla removed two foster children from house after bruising raised abuse fear

The Child and Family Agency sought an emergency switch of foster placement amid suspected sexual abuse of a pre-school age child while he was in foster care.

The case, one of 38 published today by the Child Care Law Reporting Project, also involved the court being told that significant bruising around the young child’s face was due to “non-accidental injury” rather than the explanation given by the foster parent that it may have been due to the child falling on a wooden toy.
