The families of several victims associated with the ‘Grace’ foster abuse scandal are “dismayed and extremely disappointed” that no criminal prosecutions will be taken.

It emerged at the weekend that no one will face prosecution in relation to the mistreatment of “Grace”, an intellectually disabled woman who was left in a foster home for two decades despite concerns about physical and sexual abuse.
