DSHS in 2002 in the courts stated in regards to the issues of health, safety and well-being of children in care and which the Washington Supreme Court rejected:
"the State’s arguments....children in foster care have no constitutionally protected rights or that the rights they do possess are no greater than convicted criminals in prison."
and:
"The Court also rejected the State’s defense that budgetary constraints allow it to violate the rights of children for whom it is caring...."
This is chilling. Who are the people running or connected to DSHS that have this mindset?
From: Braam v. State of Washington
