Were You or a Loved One Abused in Foster Care?

Foster care abuse is an ongoing crisis in America. As a survivor, you are not alone. Statistics show 674,000 known child maltreatment and abuse cases in out-of-home care in 2017 alone. The rate of abuse is increasing – the number of children in need of child protective services increased by 10% from 2013 to 2017. If you or someone you love experienced any type of sexual abuse in the foster care system in Orange County, contact us.

  • Sexual touching (consensual or not) as a minor
  • Sexual assault or battery
  • Rape or sodomy
  • Groping or fondling
  • Child molestation
  • Indecent exposure in front of a minor
  • Nonphysical actions such as stalking, threats or sexual harassment
  • Sexual coercion
  • Drug-facilitated sexual abuse

If a foster parent or sibling abused you, contact an attorney for assistance going up against the perpetrator in a civil claim. You may also have grounds to name the larger foster institution as a defendant. If the foster system should have done more to prevent abuse by a foster family, it could be partially liable for your damages. Working with our law firm can help you identify all possible defendants.
